PRETTY BIG LEAP

The trick is 
to run
and jump off the cliff—
not at the end
of careful deliberation—
but to start with.
It’s cold air’s bracing lack
of any guarantees 
mixed with the bright light
of improvised deeds 
which grows wings—
while they’re stunted
and suppressed by pre-
determination’s flop sweat
and the perpetual shade
of the well-
played victim.
And let's not 
forget: even when you’re
airborne, any 
post hoc rationale
or vindication
clips them.
