Dichotomy of Falling

If you fall into a round bottle,
it’s hard to climb back out.

Some fall from windows, heli-
copters, or love, uncapped

and uncorked, go with the flow.
Others fall into formation,

couplets on the go and make
do with whom or what

they find out or in line
falling in or falling out.
