the sea was angry in the evening.  at least the lifeguard was.  He kept warning, “Hey Honey, get back into the safe zone.  It’s wild out there.” or “Come back to me, Baby.  You’re going too far!”  Me and my friend were out in the sheltered part so it was like sea bathing rather than swimming.  Still, the sea washed out momentarily the violence and evil on the land, and we could talk about love and friendship and good things.  

Then we went back to shore, and cherished the spirit of escape for a few minutes.  The 2nd is our Jewish Valentine’s Day.
