“Be like a duck. Calm on the surface, but paddling like the dickens underneath.”
“Be a duck, remain calm on the surface and paddle like hell underneath.”
“Always behave like a duck- keep calm and unruffled on the surface, but paddle like the devil underneath.”
“Don't show it and don't panic. Do like the ducks; on the surface stay calm, and below it paddle lile hell”
“But Mike was like a Bjork song-all happy and giddy and fun on the surface, but bubbling with turmoil and pain underneath.”
“And still tears never feel like enough: the rinse something away, but only the surface, not whatever is underneath.”
