• Hey, Jack?
    Did it feel
    good to let
    your arm
    rest after
    stretching it
    for all that
    time?
    After all these
    years of
    reaching for
    something that
    was just a
    little further –
    just a little
    further     –
    did you think
    that giving up
    was worth it
    in the end?
    Even though it
    was so close.
    Just a little more,
    and you would
    have had it,
    Jack.
    Even now,
    when it’s become
    so far away,
    does it still feel
    good?
