Ahem.  

It is possible to drown most things, including airplanes, kittens, and people.  It’s sort of like a super  baptism or like being sucked through life backwards, softly murdered by sustanance.

Also, I’m realizing, it is possible to ‘drown’ things as well, metaphorically – evil cravings, sad thoughts, angstiness, frustration. One can literally force them back into one’s throat and then stomach with water. One can drink so much water that there’s literally no more thoughts save slight nausea and a sense of satisfaction. 

Fabulous.
