jump

IF I NOW JUMP INTO THE AIR
THEN WHEREABOUTS WILL I BE
BY THE TIME I AM BACK DOWN
WILL I BE OVER BY THE ROAD
OR MAYBE BY THE OTHER ROAD
OR ON TOP OF A DRIVING CAR
OR PERHAPS I STAY IN PLACE
LAND INSIDE THE FOOTPRINTS
THAT I MADE BEFORE JUMPING
JUST ABOUT AN INCH SHORTER
WITH MANY SUCCESSIVE JUMPS
I SINK DOWN INTO THE EARTH
