The crowd said jump.

The crowd said jump.

His thoughts slowly trickled, joining

many thoughts foreign

flowing mainstream,

the pool, they gather;

the talk busy.

Any Ideas? Any volunteers? Anyone?

On who will be brave

to take the jump, the leap;

the waterfall, the edge.

Christopher Columbus!

How 'bout you?

The  hush descends,

silence cuts deep

of sounds unheard;

water rushing.

What's out there?

Okay! I'll do it! said he.

The crowd roared. 

"Jump!"

" Just Jump!'

On circumnavigating

the world going

round and round

in circles, I found,

I lost the edge! 

Signed:

Christopher Columbus.
