Jump!
Trust the mechanics of fate,
the hydrodynamics of free fall,
and the taut stamina of ropes.
Neither cowards nor the astute
will inherit the Edens on earth.
Pursue your unique search
in rarer realms. Jump!

Guess what, each minute we die a little,
so let no mortal fears make you brittle.
Knowingly take the plunge.
Hit the ground running or break
a leg. Go! To merit a beloved
outcome, or to escape the tribe
of mimic men, flee: Jump!

Detach from if only and what if,
the human bondage, its labyrinths.
Like a baby bird, leave the nest.
Discover gravity, drag, thrust, and lift,
the karma-action philosophy, physics,
and the heroics of flight. Dare
a launch, escape velocity. Jump!
