intersecting planes and Us

once upon any given place
we were so close there was friction in our absence
and there we stood,
overlooking our whole lives.

i say 'we' because, in combination, we have:
two homes,
four hands,
two voices
twenty-four ribs
too many eyelashes--
one perspective as we fall,
one as we fly,
one as we leap

[one heart and half the blood any two people should possess.]

Industrialize Me,
says the dreamer to the world:
Jump,
says the grounded to the sky--

We,
say the two on the skyscraper
on the fringe of permanence,
Are Only Where We've Been Falling So Far.

[Diving, says the observer,
Skyscrapers are built for Swan-Dives.]
