Guest Column 5: Stuntman

 

I wonder how it is
Knowing exactly how you will die
It could be at anytime
But You’d never have to wonder so
I guess there’s that.
Living for what you love
Or do you learn to love what will kill you?
And it will be the death of you
Someday.
Everyone holds their breaths
Here’s a man who risks his entire life
For life.
Always
So close to death
But he says
He’s never felt more alive.
Stuntman
On a dirty bike
Don’t you ever
Fear the fall?
