Making a Splash

It's Me

Ian
The eldest of 8

30 waist 34 length (pants)

Hair like a porcupine

Monkey ears

My sister's name is Daphne

My look alike is Jesse

Levi is next

Followed by sallow faced bright eyed Meredith

Meredith was the youngest until Gideon

Portia became the baby Until

Wyatt

I adore siblings (sometimes)

diving in the ocean is unbeatable

and the idea of life after death is essential

I feel

like a string bean strung tight

like a cat purring near the fire

like a chauffeur

Who gives

occasional compliments

sarcastic remarks

his all, sometimes

Who fears

Up chucking into a toilet bowl

being bowled over by an avalanche

after being mauled by a bear

Who would like to see

The mysterious ocean floor

The bloody Colloseum
The boundless barrier reefs

Who lives

Among chaotic youngers

While spouting laughter like a beached whale

With 3 meals 4 snacks a day

Boggess
