Obeying Orders

CLIMB THAT STAIR WITH A PURPOSE BOY! 
Affirmative.  That's a yes.
Footfall echoes loud
Take the turn, take the door
(needs oiled)
Birds cooing, cold air.
STEP UP!  Blood burns.  STEP UP!
Step up between 
The crenellation, the
Rough stone forms.
A diving stance.  RAISE
THOSE ARMS!  This tall stone has
A nice square ledge,
A cool blue pool,
A nice easy breath and ...
LET GO!  LET GO!

Slow motion stomach,
Swallow air, feel the rush,
The sound of hair, loud, loud,
Whipping my skin
Vertical air-filled ears
Howling ...
All, all is unwound, unwinding ...
Clean momentum down
All is crystal 
Clear and clear swimming
Air - GULP IT!  GULP IT!
GO!  SEE YOUR LIFE, BOY
FLASH BEFORE YOUR EYES!
Stings my eyes
This burst of blue
Bright, too bright
To swallow
Pushing hands cold, cold, I am
Cold ...
0..1D..E. BAM .0..1D..E..��..0..1. no reverberation
no shiver, I 
rise and float, light and witless
as thread
but aimless ...
aimless ... .0..1..��
