A Parachute For The Embarrassed And Fearless

 

 

The world displayed an embarrassment

As they countered it was down to

How the outside perceived it's trick

Of seeming to have need of parachute

Thrills but so high it seems difficult

Some walked away requesting their attention

That minute concluding the skyfall

With no escape and lie of roll

A Circus trick distracting for

The queue permitted and stared down

Barrel and parked metal across road

The experts left catching up if anybody heard of those

Stunt people frozen seconds ground level

As if never happened

Except feeling deep in stomach

The binary digits began to repel

What is the embarrassment of fearlessness

If consequences means it happened every day?

A chance to signal intentions mirrored

By actions of choice taken and displayed

The line waiting entertained by creating

Parachutes forbidden down from sky

Moment of impact somehow cut edit out

Only know moved further along line

The privileged that had death

Able to snap out from the event

Of crushed with parachute broken

So many dying imitating nothing

Except front of the line

Hello choice of something

Cracking under the shining

Of arguments embarrassments or perceiving

The parachute best is of their own making.
