from danny's perch on the third and final rung of the rural bridge
his smile and his tan dominate the moment
he jumps
seems to pause
flies falls plunges
the shallow river swallows his tan and his smile
eternity is a long time my brain says to itself
then he surfaces
and we all breathe and cheer, act all no-big-deal
hoping no one challenges us to follow
