One a penny, two a penny

Watch this skin
I’m in.

I could shuck it off.

Present it to a young boy 
to surf in.

I could scrawl Ripcurl on it.

Watch as I wear 
my other skin

the one that doesn’t swim
but is carried around in the 
bottomless changing bag.

Both skins are rudders
guiding those with eyes

Whichever box you put me in 

one skin approves 

the other defies.
