It's very short, and really gives the feeling of falling ... well, as much as I can imagine it, never having leapt off a building myself. :) And I think the brevity of the poem is a wonderful symbol of the brevity of the fall, accelerating at 9.8 m/s^2. It also conveys a very interesting viewpoint of the "faller" in that I would imagine most people falling would be scared of the impending death (in a sense, just as they were scared of their life beforehand). But you portray an interesting character who has the presence of mind to actually ENJOY his fall, naming it his "greatest descent." Very nice piece. -Mike Hey Travis,
