the highest mountain,
some jump from planes.
some
go to the frozen
tundra
to prove something
about survival
in weather extremes.
they take a picture
at the summit,
of them falling
with arms spread wide.
some leap
from bridges
tethered to a cord.
they raft the wild gorge.
some wrestle
alligators,
putting their head into
a lion's mouth.
they need the excitement
the danger,
the thrill of it all.
whereas i like
to watch it with a sandwich
and a cold drink
from the comfort
of my couch.
