A Chance of Landing
A Chance Of Landing
A chance of landing looks pretty good
It’s the way gravity works
The balcony had no re-bar or foundation
But a great chance for failing
A large man stepped out to discover that
The laws of speed and physics work
With or without his consent
On that long trip down from 117 floors
What goes through one’s mind in those last seconds?
A law suit for the hotel or flying lessons?
A pair of dice thrown by chance while gambling?
Ice cream or that final dance?
He only wished to see the sites
Now he is one, upon landing
On the ground
