what he said

(hypothetically spea-
king
) I

have a friend (I)
who
can’t swim.
He’s (I’m) a-
fraid
of drowning.
He will not stand in a swimming pool
even if
the height is a foot shorter
than his (my)
self.
and because he’s afraid of heights,
he (I) don’t go mountain-climbing.
he hates frigid,
snowy weater,
so he (I) moved away from Wisconsin.
but he said that he would rather
stand in a ten foot deep swimming pool
or climb the highest mountain in the middle of a blizzard,

than
2
spend
1
more
holiday
a-
lone.

hypothetically speaking,
of course.

that's what he said.
