Jump (Poem)

I say I’m going to jump.

What does this mean?

Will I jump for joy?

Highly unlikely,

But perhaps I will.

In a brief moment of happiness

Probably whippet-related.

Will I jump to a conclusion?

I try not to do so,

Being of a rational turn of mind,

Or so I like to tell myself (but don’t we all?)

Will I jump off the edge?

Now this is more plausible,

Given the current state of the world

And my dystopian worldview.

I’m jumping now.

The buildings are tall indeed.
