I


Careered  


            Along


                    The


                       Narrow


                               Roads


                                        I

              ­                            Never


                                           Considered

                          What


                                          I’m  


                                   Doing


                                              I

                                                   Just


                                                Considered

                                The


                         ­     Inertia


                               Of


                              The


                        ­      FALL




Inspired song

Free Falling
By Tom Petty 1989

Fear--the sense
of impending doom
courage flees all at once
and has no room
to stand on its own
by imagination
compounded
which adds further
to the gloom

the cure
is not to fight
but to empty
the self
that which
is empty
has neither
uncertainty
nor fear-
at all
