you're jumping off
a
c
l
i
f
f
towards a ---------------> tiny target <-------------------
and so it'll feel like it means E V E R Y T H I N G to you,
like it was somehow so very...
dense
in that, it's so very
small, so very
far, so very hard to nail
but
weighed
so,
so
MUCH.
and there's just this formidable nothingness
surrounding it
enveloping it and
threatening your life
and the more you look at it
the harder it is to look away
and more and more you feel like
there is no way
that you wouldn't fail
that you wouldn't miss
that you wouldn't just
go back to nothing
And when that nothingness threatens you
I hope you remember
That nothing doesn't have to be nothing
you can fill all that space with
a whole bunch of somethings
And those whole bunch of somethings
can turn into c o w s . .
l o d s, s f p i o .
u t l l
on which,
if you fail,
(and we're still hoping that you won't)
you can softly,
gently,
land
(even if it's with tears in your eyes)
so that instead of s h a t t e r i n g
you can simply find your feet
dust yourself off
get back up
and walk over
to something new.
