Why this bridge?
Plenty of room for walkers,
Easy to clear the railing
And the water is warm.
I have turned this into a big event.
Not that crowds will witness my jump,
Just enough to mark the occasion,
And my mother will be notified.
I’ve printed my name in my collar to facilitate identification.
All these years ...and still I accuse my mother.
In truth, I don’t know what she could have done.
I was headed here 20 years ago.
Strange, I should care about warm water.
From the top of a 100 foot leap
I’ll hit an unforgiving surface.
SPLAT.
The kid will be better off.
My mom will be a better mother.
At least she wont have to support me.
I am so scared, so very very scared.
