How to Invest in Neutrality

Three deep breaths
Then throw all your coins in the deep end
Pray as they quickly sink

Touch the bottom of your foot
On the gritty surface
Bob to the top
Feel fingertips floating

Flip, twist, and hurl your body
Notice the sky below
See the disco dimes twirl

Then swim hard! To utter exhaustion!

Now ready
Collect each penny from below
Leave the silver to your children

Dripping, glowing, life flowing
Powerfully through you
Rise from buoyant space
Richer than the fee to get wet
