San

Francisco,

1997—

A

girl

of

two

(toddling

hand

in

hand

between

mom

and

dad)

slips

through

a

nine-

inch

gap

and

drops

to

the

glittering

Bay …

And

surely

they

grasp

after

her

still

today …

16

Not

water

but

air’s

where

the

fallen

fall

first.

Not

landing,

but

numbing

to

the

fact

that

landing

is

coming,

is

the

worst

part

of

falling.

Not

losing

a

loved

one

but

calling

and

calling.

17

Among

mankind’s

universal

scares:

nightmares

of

falling.

Which

of

us

hasn’t

thrashed

awake,

grasping?

If

some

inspector

said

your

bed

might

buckle

and

drop

you

through

floorboards

downstairs,

how

long

would

you

hold

up

repairs?
