The Man on the Ledge
John Grey
You see a man
high up
on a tall building.
You want to cry out
“Don’t jump.”
But you only watch
terrified
by the vision of him
face down on the pavement,
trying to crawl
like you try to speak,
attempting to breathe
that same air
that has your lungs paralyzed.
Then he climbs back
through a window,
out of sight.
You wonder where he goes
from here.
You cannot imagine him
taking the elevator.
