December 16, 1975 (I was 30)
A
Throw
Perceiving the impending
fall,
the equestrian rises out of
the saddle
clearing the mount, and
extends
body lines along the lines
of force.
Upon impact, the faller
absorbs the energy
rolling a line as long as
possible
converting vertical motion
to horizontal.
Whereupon assessing bodily
damage
and usually finding none
permanent,
the pedestrian retrieves
his mount
and ignores tomorrow’s
papers.
