climbing
after sky diving and deep sea
diving,
swimming with the sharks,
and playing
with crocodiles.
don't be such a wuss, she said,
as i stood back
with my coffee and watched
her grapple
up the side of a steep
cliff.
i waved to her, yelling
out words of encouragement,
you go girl, and stuff like that,
but when she waved back,
she slipped, losing
her grip, falling into a deep
jagged crevice about thirty feet
below her
where a sign read, beware
of rattlesnakes.
yikes, i said.
continuing to drink my coffee.
hope she's okay.
i guess the date is over.
and it seemed so promising.
