the absolute best! days
are those
when you wake
up—shaking! without
wondering
why—because you
already
know it's just
that your
body's
a little
terrified!
but your
head—isn't really feeling
the least bit

worried about it.

that there
was just no room
for common sense left)
for common sense left)
with convincing
yourself—
that it was
only! through
the ninth
or tenth
or eleventh
attempt,
or eleventh
attempt,
that the twelfth
leap—off the seven-
foot-
high white
and red backyard shed—
could
appreciably—
leap—off the seven-
foot-
high white
and red backyard shed—
could
appreciably—
make any difference.
