Elements in competition for destruction.
jacket of who knows who
huge, hot, sweating, over-heating,
stiff for water-drowning
assisted by snorkel
weed trapping, fish catching, lung blasting.
and also for land-drowning
emitting bubbles air to air.
dual purpose visor
for auto-asphyxiation in either element,
head weighing,
hair tangling, eye probing.

suffocation in air
or, if all else fails
spontaneous combustion.
