told
us, one by one, to stand
behind
each other
and let the person
behind
catch
them as they fell backwards
in a free fall.
a simple test of trust.
my son did it.
i caught him.
the ex-wife caught him.
then she fell backwards
and i caught her
before she hit
the floor.
then it was my turn
to fall
with my ex behind me,
and my son screamed,
don't do it dad,
please dad,
don't,
and started crying.
he knew what i knew
too.
