Bungi: One Mad Moment
One
stray spark of wild imagining
Of
“alive with possibility” and “what if”
One
cheeky taunt of self-daring
Of
“what the hell” and “why not”
One
decisive click of mental resolve
Of
“you only live once” and “just do it”
One
endless day of expectation
Of
pep-talks and reassurance
One
pulsing hour of preparation
Of
feet-binding and stomach-knotting
One
insane shuffle to the edge
With
clinging toes and jelly legs
One
crazy countdown to nothingness
Five,
four, three, two, one, BUNGI!
One
mad moment of wingless flight
Of
swan-dive perfection and aerial elegance
One
scream-choked spike of frozen panic
Of
freefall plummeting and certain death
One
crashing wave of frothing relief
Of
elastic grace and bouncing back
One
fiery explosion of exhilaration
Of
head-spinning blood-pumping ecstasy
One
virgin sacrifice who lived to tell the tale
Of
escaping the jaws of the wild
