The world gapes wide
a Grand Canyon of opportunity
with plenty of places to jump.
Through Navajo sandstone
cut by the grinding currents
of five million years
-a blink geologically.
And as you fall,
past the granaries
and mining trails
you become a speck in time
ambivalent to impact.
For your goal
is never to hit-
you are aiming for
the Emergence
Sipapu
And so you drop not to this world,
but to the one before
and the one after
So what you do now
doesn't really matter.
