let me start from the beginning.
on saturday morning i woke up early.[5am]
we were going to spend the day at the lake
and it gets packed.i stopped at the store
and bought a 12 pack of some rolling rock beers
i had an 1/8 of bud on me and i was off to the lake
i got us a great spot with shade and trees and grass
i hung up my hammock smoked a bowl opened up a cold beer
and started to relax in a major way.
all the families were starting to get there and it was fun
just watching all the people pass by.
it was a beautiful day ,clear blue skies and no clouds
the wind was blowing a lil and the water was looking good
i kept up my usual habit of one beer ,one bowl and i was beers into it
my people finally showed up and everythinng was good
i was getting quite fucked up and the food they brought looked good
i was ready for some bbq but first the kids wanted to go swim for a while
i grabbed my pipe and went down to the water.it was getting crowded
so i stuck my head inside my shirt and lit the bowl under there
i was buzzing real good when i pooped my head back out i let the smoke out
life was good.clear blue water in front of me.sun beating down on my head
shit i felt so damn great.....
then i look to my left
and i see a life guard coming out of the water dragging a lil boy
without hesitation i ran towards them
i yelled out i can help and we started doing cpr
the lifeguard was doing chest compressions and i was doing the breaths
15 pumps two breaths .i had to put my mouth on his and when i did
he spit foam and water into my mouth
for what seemed like hours we tried our best to save this kid
it was so weird cause i was buzzed and the thoughts that were
going thru my head didnt match what was going on.
i could hear the family in the background crying and screaming
"thats my lil brother" "o god no" "where are the paramedics"
it took so long for help to arrive. the poor lil boy was making
these sounds like the life was leaving his body.i kept breathing
and they kept pumping.finally some rangers took over
and when they did i walked away.
as i walked i started to cry big time
it just hit me hard and i slammed two more beers quick
i walked back to the sand and watched the helicopter
land and take the boy away.the family was taken to the hospital
and park staff got their stuff.as soon as the helicopter dipped
over the ridge everyone went back to normal like nothing happened
i went for a long hike where there was no trail
i was drunk and stumbled thru the woods asking god
why he does things like that.i had a nice lil chat with the big man that day
i found a nice lil waterfall and just laid on the floor of the forest
and thought about life.it felt good to be alive then i smoked a bowl
and ate some tacos
