“You chicken?” I said
“No” Dave said
“Then why don’t you jump?”
“It’s ten stories down!”
“So?”
“So I don’t want to die”
“Dave” I said and tapped myself on the temple “you’re in here”
Dave looked at me suspiciously
He looked down the drop
He stepped up on the ledge
“What does this prove anyway?” Dave asked
“Nothing” I answered
“Than why do I have to?”
“You don’t. But we were talking about this. Now we’re here”
“Well now that we’re here it doesn’t seem like such a good idea”
“Why not?”
“Because I could die”
“No you can’t. We discussed this. You agreed”
Dave nodded
He looked over the edge
“Is it gonna hurt?” he asked
“I don’t know” I said
Dave looked at me
He shook his head at me
Closed his eyes
And leaped out
I went to the edge just in time to see him hit
The body sat there still as soon as it hit
“Dave!” I yelled
But the lump just sat there
Someone walked by and took no notice of Dave
But they looked up at me when I yelled
I climbed down the building fire escape we had come up
I went home
Sat in front of the computer
“Did it hurt?” I asked when I saw a shadow move across the room
After a silence Dave came forward from the dark
“It did” he said
“But you didn’t die” I said
“I didn’t die” he said
I’m not sure why, but I had a moment of real panic when Dave was jumping. Followed by very real dread. The kind you can taste at the back of your throat when it hits.
And then I kinda wanted to hug him. and you. So.. double hugs. :p
Also, I cant find how to share on facebook. Is it disabled or something?
It’s not disabled. I’m not sure why it doesn’t work.
I could ‘Like’ it but not share. Mind If I manually copy paste with a link?
No I don’t mind.
Okie doke!
Thanks for reading you went back a ways. And I watched some of the video it was funny saved it for later. Thanks for that.
You’re most welcome. I’m having fun. 🙂 It’s nice to have some time to kick back and relax with some good poetry. And I bet you’ll love the rest of the video too. 🙂
