let's do it again

as i leap
from the plane,
falling at a fast rate
towards
the earth below i 
pull on the string
for the parachute to open.
but it doesn't.
which strangely feels okay.
so this is how it ends.
it was a good
run.
i go through the list
of things i'm thankful for.
more good than bad,
for sure. such wonderful
lovers and friends.
feeling blessed and lucky.
i have an epiphany of joy,
of happiness,
but then i pull once
more on the cord 
and it opens, 
mushrooming into
a silk canopy above me.
i float gently to the ground
and after landing
safely, i look up at the sky,
and say
let's do it again.
