To throw yourself headlong
as if off a bridge
to your death
into another person
Never asking if
there is a net or
safety word
Without holding
another human being
under a bright light
interrogation
Eventually we've
all faced our Lucy's,
who snatched the ball
from us right before
our certain victory
We've all had the Simpsons
"HA Ha" kid who suddenly
laughed at us rather than with us
It isn't easy to brush
ourselves off and open up
yet again to the
possibility
maybe
just maybe
maybe
this
time
