i heard a bone snap when i was only about nine the laws of gravitation were in abeyance a while but not long before they taught me a lesson in tough skin jeans like a japanese hessian i was 70 pounds, learning to fly i knew i couldn't do it if i didn't try we called it the "field" where we used to hang out a field of alfalfa behind the back of our house with a slice of an old oak tree and a 12 ft. plank put the board on top we got flying machine oh my god we could teeter on this or make lever that could shoot me into orbital space i'd seen the circus and i saw how they do it with bent knees you got to jump like you would from a trampoline. we got out the ladder and the heaviest kid he would climb up top Songtexteand count down like a rocket ship to fire me up he'd get to t-minus zero before he'd jump and i was shot high in a vertical catapult straight up and down i remember the view from overtop of the house -gravity seems weak until you look down i got in position i had impeccable form if the judges were present they'd be holding up score cards with 9's and 10's unless i lose a couple points for the landing i did i heard a loud snap but it didn't hurt i looked at the neighborhood it looked like earth but everybody's acting weird are they out of meds? eating a peanut butter sandwich in a hospital bed i started noticing strange phenomenon is this planet the same one that i been on? everybody's bizarre and irrational even nurses on the clock seem a bit off strange phenomenon everybody's deranged and i wonder what happened the day that i fell from the sky if nobody changed then it must've been my mind.
