hopeless hill

only one way off
two  choices

wet  a finger
test the wind

look up
test the sky

put on your 
parachute,  jump

if  you need to
open it.

the landing can
 be  soft or dicey

either way  you
land, still alive.

begin the long
climb back to the  top

or 

grab my hand
fall with  me

into a place 
of antigravity
