The Fall- I Promise

By Gregory Kurowsky

All you can say is:

“So far, so good”

as you fall, feel–

the wind to your face,

for the first time,

in a long time,

see that the world

is coming at you

all teeth and gums bared

in a shit-eating grin.

All you can do is smile,

and feel the wind

“So far, so good”

Scream and holler,

and kick and scream–let the

world know your impact

will be tremendous.

So far, so good.
