I don't think. I never do. I dive in head-first, without knowing the depth of the water. Without having a clue. I jump in without a single thought. Only when the shock of the cold water ***** the air from my lungs, do I realize the damage that could be done. I cannonball into the deepest end. And it is there, that split second in mid-air, when I decide whether I'll sink or swim.

Swim or Drown
