In middle of time
When you were swimming
And I was drowning
You ended up losing
I winding up winning

Wow! Talk about reversal of fortune leading to a reversal of readers' expectations. The speaker may not have the proverbial last laugh but he has a spiritual awareness that winning is not what most people think it is. I'm not sure what that real meaning of WINNING but I think I will find it reading THE KEROUAC SERIES! !

A paradox with the ultimate consequences of parallel activities - swimming/drowning - impossibly reversed: How can one who drowns score a victory over one who swims and just suffers wrinkled skin? What hidden fate reversed the expected? Is someone with secret knowing laughing at me? Must I accept my ignorance and stifle my curioiusity?
