only a fool
wants to
defy gravity
by leaping
from
the tallest
skyscraper building
in downtown manhattan
thus
refusing to wear
parachute
crash helmet
safety goggles
swiss watch
and
shoulder pads
to break the fall
and
the sudden impact
at ground zero
nevertheless
the
law of gravity
is still intact
and
the rate of fall
32 feet per second squared
unfortunately
the
emergency rescue team
had to remove
the
zealous fool
from
the tragic mishap
splash scene
televised nationally
Fox News and CNN
with
mop broom and scoop shovel
