Gravity is very light here.
I leapt ten feet on my way to breakfast.
And not in anticipation
of that meal,
let me assure you.
But everyone was out and about
and doing much the same.
My bound was a mere hop
compared to some.
It has little to do with physical fitness.
In fact, for a man my age,
I'm a doctor's worst nightmare.
But I can soar as high
as the roof of the hut I live in.
I'm five feet eight,
a little over two hundred
and fifty pounds.
And this planet holds my weight
less accountable
than do some other worlds.
I'd jump for joy
if it weren't so easy.
