that time gary pulled my feet while i was treading water

Jon Nakapalau

the jerk down
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
no time to hold my breath
                                                                              at the deep end of the pool
i panic kicked
//////////////////////
and used his face to push off with my feet
```````````````````````````````````          ````````````````````
which made him angry

i punched him in the locker room
he told the instructor
.

.
.
the end of my jr. lifeguard career
