My mother tells me she is impressed that I always seem to land on my feet, but I don't have the heart to tell her
that I never fell
I came out hold her on my shoulders
and as I aged I added each member of my family
and then still others that I either drug up and forced to stand upon the pile just to say that someone chose me or people that snuck up on me
preyed on me
waited until I was about to regain my balance just to jump atop the pile of the "I need you to"s and sink my squat so low that my feet are firmly planed shoulder width apart, knee joins fully collapsed, pushing the floor away with pure balance and the fear of the fall.
I have not landed at all.
