the jumpers
they say that people who
leap from bridges
are enlightened --
that the clearest your
mind will ever be
is whilst falling to your death.
the jumpers spend the drop in regret,
realizing that their problems
could all have been
overcome;
that their final thoughts are
of longing for tomorrow.
how cruel a game,
this life can be,
begging you to
let it go, in
order to know its worth.
