Suspended

by Adam Jeffries Schwartz

There's a moment when you tip too far backwards--
and you know you can't go back, you can't right yourself.

You're going to fall;
there's nothing you can do, nothing you would want to do, really.

You're happy floating:
you're suspended like an angel or a ghost--
you're not sure which,

you don't care either.
