Just moments

after I was born,

the doctor,

lifting me up to

show to my mother,

***

suddenly, slipped!

***

Loosed from his hands,

I fell towards

the floor

***

The room seemed to drop with me.

***

Then — at the

last moment,

he caught me

***

My whole life passed

before my eyes!

***

I had nearly died.

***

Still —

I remember

thinking —

if I had to do it

all over again,

***

I wouldn’t change a thing.
