Hey listen here yeah listen here. LISTEN. I'm here. I'm right here. Not up there. Down here. Down. I'm "grounded" if you will. Will you listen? I'm important. And I have big important things to say. So move out of the way, I'm here. I am here. So listen here. Here is where one might hear the cawing of ten thousand sparrow or see the majesty of a goose in flight. We are birds see SEE HERE we are the birds and HERE we fly as the birds. Hey listen. Are you listening? Listening with your EARS? Cause I have big important things to say. Listening with your EYES? Cause I have big important things to show. Hey watch here yeah watch HERE. Cause I can only show you once. ONLY ONCE. Matter what is it? I don't know I thought you might. Matter matter is soft and easy to break. It's like this roof or your ground. Ha ha I guess you're "grounded." I don't stay on the ground not when people can't hear from down there. I've been making noise trying to break through this matter this matter frozen and condensing all around me. It is closing in trying to wait for a mistake. ONE mistake and it wins. ONE mistake and I'm silenced. Hey listen this is good news. At least they can watch from up here. Hey see here yeah see HERE. I'm only going to jump once so watch now to see me fly. Watch as I step into the empty quarters of the air below.
