I could be three, thirteen or thirty but the smell of going down to the river, lake or sea, always smells like fish. Its probably just algea but going down to the water smells like fresh slick fish. It smells green, not clean like pine but a little musty like warm dry wine.
Then there was my first girlfriend. Sometimes she was like tuna and sometimes potato chips. Yep going down to the water even now has a deep down sexy smell that makes me expect the scent of suntan lotion and charcol grills amid the squeals of little kids.

jeez all these smell memories all sound like poetry if you read them right.
