The Defier

With surprising speed and agility,
he leapt off the building with a simple "yippee"

"Fair thee well," he said, and waved to all.
"Fair thee well," said they, as he did fall.

Plummeting down, the ground he saw.
The grass and rocks would stop his fall.

Landing gently upon his feet,
down came the crowd for him to meet.

They stared in awe at this marvelous man,
"can you really fly because you think you can?"

"It's all a trick of the mind," said he,
"You can always be what you want to be."
