Mere Act

As quick as you say you are
Like a flash
A splash
Couldn't grip it
To climb it
Sliding down
To the very end
You are the knot on the bottom
I couldn't care
I watch
They stare
I believe you belong there
You are the something in the air
Holding my breath as though
If I held it long enough for you
This mere act would prevent you
From falling off of it
I clench the pit
Of my stomach
When you reach the end
I can breath again
