Jump!

[GoodRedRoad]

Take me for a ride and then push me out because
a b a n d o n m e n t
is the newest fashion.
And I'll stand and squint in the bright headlights of your commitment, kiddo,
and try to make out your figure
because your eyebrows furrow in the most intricate ways.

I can always just sit and wait with the others.
Who shiver from the cold, but never huddle together
because everyone else is diseased.
Will we freeze to death before we starve? Will we die of thirst before we freeze?
I watch as one by one they jump off cliffs.
"Come on!" they sing, and we all use the last of our strength to stand up and start walking.
Joining hands and peering over sharp edges and everyone smiling... We'll die from loss of oxygen because this fall goes nowhere.
They sing, they sing, they sing, "All ready?"

One..

Two..

Three!
