the only way to get inis to first walk in quickly
(no backing up; no pausing to acclimate)
then start to run, with big splashes
and before you can
stop the momentum
take a shallow forward dive
in and under
the cold water
jump into the air
and then pop back down in again
moving around quickly
exhale and inhale
powerfully
make some noise
(mostly joyful with some
genuine shock and alarm)
an august swim
in an adirondack lake
there is nothing like it
