Today I tried. <br />Again and again. <br />To jump over my own shadow. <br />Each time I jumped <br />it moved first. <br /> <br />So, I tried leaping. <br />But my shadow only <br />leaped ahead of me. <br />And now we were <br />doing long jumps. <br /> <br />But it was the headway <br />that remained <br />completely <br />out of reach. <br />Bugger.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-shadow-4/
