but it looks calm

you don't

mess

with the ocean.

for one thing,

you can't see what's in it.

crabs, eels,

sharks,

or tell

how deep it is,

or how rough.

that rip tide will rip

your lungs out Jim.

you don't dive in head

first,

or swim out too far.

don't mess with

the ocean,

just saying,

but i'm not your father.
