I wonder how it would feel to jump


From 200 stories high




I wonder how it would feel to fall


Until I finally hit the ground



I wonder how it would feel to only have


The option of death.




Would I burn in the flames of terrorism?

Or would I jump




And die knowing what it is like to fly?


I would jump,





What about you?

© Micha C., Toronto, ON, Canada

The author's comments:
I watched a video about the twin towers and watched people jump to their death. I wondered how it would be to either jump or burn. And this is the poem that I wrote about the morbid curiosity that I have about it.
