THE GENTLE ART OF TUMBLING

You know
thinking back
I'd have to admit that
if
she
taught me anything
it was
how to fall gracefully
without hurting myself
fall
about
apart
away
back
behind
below
down
and
ever since
although
I
have experienced
countless falls
from great heights
and
on many different planes
I have invariably managed to
get up
and
walk away
if not always completely unscathed
then at least
able
to carry on
I
guess the trick to it is
to see falling as


a natural act.
