I saw a goat fall from a high cliff

It was an horrific experience

Yet I watched its entire fall

Just before it hit the ground

It seemed to decelerate

And almost floated downwards

When the dust had cleared

I walked over to the goat

Which was lying on its back

And although stunned

It was very much alive

I could see that it was wondering

How to return to its original station
