swimming to escape
is still quite possible
traveling in the direction
where jet lag feels the worst
was not a god idea
rolling over to the back
is still possible
getting stranded short of the destination
drowning is still improbable
trudging though the sand
imagining that you have been sentenced
to life in prison
where you will have plenty of time
to reconsider things
swimming backstroke
in the sand
through and out of the sand
swimming back towards the wreckage
trudging on imagining
that you have deceived prison wards
into believing that you spend time
thinking about colloid hydrogels
consisting of fine granular materials and water
seconds before ignoring
the warning sign
that danger quicksomething sign
that danger qucksomething and water sign
and having that sinking feeling
that traveling in the direction
where jet lag feels the worst
was not a good idea
