LOOKING DOWN

For an instant, I�ll be flying

but soon enough, it�ll be falling.

Falling

falling

falling down

down

until the inevitable crash

smash

dashed hopes

lashes of intestines

spraying and dribbling every which way.

It won�t be pretty

but I won�t care.

I won�t be there

for already

I�ll be flying again

traveling up up up

until they realize the error

and shunt me

back where I belong.

Quite a bit of traveling

quite a lot of motion

all from one simple step.

Maybe tomorrow�
