anchor’s away!
I want her to throw away the anchor.
She wants me to go overboard with it.

the analysis of falling
when going down it pays to plan ahead
and calculate the moment of impact if there is going to be one at all.
It is not so good to remember how it started
or to speculate on how to stop.
the best thing to do is enjoy it.
and if you can’t enjoy it, make notes.
