Diving

Climb the steps
Can’t look down
Careful, don’t slip
There are people around.

Stand up straight
Picture yourself
About to jump
And way beyond help.

Five steps
Start with your left
Shut the noise out
To all you are deaf.

Step--pace yourself;
Step--don’t forget;
Step--eyes forward;
Step--no regrets.

Hurdle--last chance--
Too late now
You’ve jumped off
You’re headed down.

Knees straight
Toes pointed too
Lean back
Look for blue.

Wait, no water?
You stupid fool
You cannot dive
Into an empty pool.

make a decision
one that matters.
but wait-
don’t think about the matter
because it doesn’t now
even though then it mattered.
