Do not be alarmed. I am not referring to copulating, although this is a scientific term.
This hybridized word involves physics, not biology.
I love the word because it describes a stage in between.
Flinking refers to a state between floating and sinking.
The density of an object is such that it neither floats nor sinks.
It flinks.
Suspended in the water below its surface.
Too heavy to float but not heavy enough to sink.
I do enjoy the concept, but not the sensation.
It’s like the limbo without the line or the music.
I am not drowning. I am not swimming.I am not floating. I am flinking.
Motionless, powerless waiting for the current to shift and my density to change.
I have to follow through, before I can start something new.
Stinking flinking!
