There is a yellow rope that designates the authorized swimming area. Just as there is a road sign that says city limits. Crossing either may put you in peril. Both contain sharks and undercurrents.
Past here the world stops
pretending to care about you. The ocean
once again becomes the ocean, teeth and all.
You can’t say you weren’t warned.
There are always signs, though not always obvious. Those are the things taught in the school of hard knocks. There are no ceremonies at graduation. It's assumed that if you made it this far, you know there is no such thing as FREE KITTENS.
