One Fat Summer (1977)
“When I swung up high enough I caught glimpses of swimmers splashing out from shore. They were so cool and I was so hot. I was jealous of people who didn’t have to think about how their bodies looked without clothes. When I was younger I was a good swimmer. My father and Michelle taught me. But after I started feeling embarrassed about my body, I made excuses not to go swimming. When I did go, I tried to stay underwater as long as possible so people couldn’t see me. Last summer there was an unde...rwater swimming contest at Marino’s Beach, and I’m sure I would have won, but you had to start from the low board. I wasn’t afraid of jumping off the low board, but I didn’t want to walk out on it while people were looking me over.
I pumped hard on the swing and made my own breeze. That cooled me off. I used to spend a lot of time on this swing. When you really get going on a swing, the rest of the world fades away and you can imagine yourself anybody anywhere. I once had a daydream in which I was the invisible boy.MoreLess
