I who have lived in atmosphere
Am lost without gravity
Like a child learning to walk
My feet are confused
I keep losing my balance
But I never hit the ground
What is this sorcery?
The higher I jump,
The higher I fly
I wait in vain
For my bones to crush
On the hard ground
But they never do
Or have I just not waited long enough?
