An 'ouch' title
to describe an 'ouch' moment
palms flat, reach
kick off and
inaflash
you're up.
Stay, stay
pray up to the ground.
Not heard
right side up again.
Only one thing to do
back up
straighter arms
this time 'round
I'llmakeitI'llmakeit
Iwill
kickoffHARDand-
Ow.
Flipped.
On my back
sun, sand
burning eyes.

Fail.
