Well, you know I'm not exactly the poetry critic, but this one might be your best one yet. Simple, straight forward, and like a well placed arrow.

I'm a lot better with prose. Your words that are around your poem are pretty darn spectacular, too.

I don't have any experience with surfboards at all. What it did remind me of was avalanche training. "When you've been rolled over by an avalanche and don't know which way is up, spit. Up is the opposite direction that spit runs on your face. Dig up. It is your only hope."

Thanks for this. I really do appreciate it.
