Three sisters wash up on the beach. Drowned.

But no foul play.

Five black women found by bodies of water. Dead.

But no foul play.

Ninety-five percent of black people have nothing to do with swimming.

But no foul play. Just conditioning and lies.

All bodies of water carry terror. Provoke fear from time.

So we are lead to believe as we are lead away from our sources of freedom.

From our bodily memories of being water folk. From time.
