Jumper

I wonder where he went wrong
as his second legs swings
over the guard rail and he jumps.

Perhaps a failed relationship,
or maybe humility at work,
or it could be both.

His worries are washed away
by the wind that streaks
through his jacket that
flaps in the air like wings.

His shoes fly off,
and his pants flutter violently
against his legs,
trying to slow him down.

I wonder where he went wrong,
as his head is forcefully caved in
by the concrete sidewalk.
