I liked this poem...the visual images were good.....although I am not 
quite sure what you meant in it...perhaps this was your intention? I could 
see it being a story told from your perspective...it almost seemed like 
you were describing a near drowning experience, either of yourself or 
someone you knew....was the poem in fact in your voice? And what of the 
stress on "dead", either in sense or word? (Ex. Deadbeet (sp?), deadblue). 
Also, what was the significance in the repetion of the line "I want to be 
normal?"

All in all a nice poem, one that made me think about innocence and how 
much for granted some people take childhood innocence...sometimes the echo 
of children's laughter is enough to remind me of just how much I have 
lost.

Thanks for the poem.....
