Waiting on a cliff when

I see a bird pass,
and think:

if that caught my attention, I could just fall right in

in where?

well right in the ocean

would you?

not on purpose, don’t be silly, just if I looked too much at the bird

then don’t look at the bird!

it’s not as simple as that

actually, I think it is. Do not fall.

oh, I am trying, I am trying, but you never know.
