cracks in the pavement

shallow

insignificant

don't step on them

break your back

shallow

but if split apart

create a crevace

step on a particular

crack in the pavement

fall forever

hit the ground

look up

at the crack of white sky

visible from your place in the earth

realize that there is no latter to assist you

there you stay

there you live

creating a new lifestyle

careful

not to step

on any more cracks.
