i hate saltwater ICE (did i mention that)
its extra slippery

one day i walk down to the beach
just like i did every morning to see what's up

the ice had frozen on the shore and the tide had gone out
and we had ice to about 60 feet out....in the cove

i stupidly stepped onto the slanting ice thinking i could walk on it
and at this point theres just beach sand beneath it...

Out go my feet from under me and i go sliding out on to
the ICE lickedy split and no matter how many times i stood up
i immediately fell down time after time after time.

i was slowly getting hypothermia and nobody but nobody
could hear me shouting for help.

Finally i realized after about forty minutes
that i could pull myself to shore inch by inch
with my fingernails but it took over an hour.

i had never felt so cold in my life.
