You saunter
Over a three inch stretch of air
A gap of faith
A gap of physical disbelief
A gap of will over gravity
You saunter
Straight toward a grander canyon
A large abyss, still and silent mouth
In your path
Still floating over a three inch gap
You saunter
Over the edge and fall anyway
A gap of three inches
Is a gap after all
And gravity does flow, all the way down
Thud
You saunter
Off into the sunset
Licking your wounded faith
And composing Plan B
