    A Man Falls To His Death by Cirilo Bautista

    Uploaded by

    Lady Nessa
    A man falls to his death from the 10th floor of a building. The poem uses geometric formulas and Berger's formula for optics to scientifically explain and describe the man's fall, which dehumanizes the emotional reasons for his decision to end his life. Despite surrounding factors, the language used to report on the death prioritizes technical details over respecting and understanding the man's life.

    A Man 

    Falls To His Death


    by Cirilo Bautista

    1      Blood is nothing. Space is all. Is.


    2      A simple diagram illustrates this:

            
    3      where A is the tenth floor of steel and glass (He was on
    4      the noon shift forging the dream to a reality fine mean
    5      could slumber in, or whores, in antechamber, touch their
    bone)
    6      and B the level earth (Above the clogged engine
    7      a shadow traced the lines on his foot, while shoot
    8      his brain with firelights the money did). Put
    9      down an imaginary circle around the vertical.
    10    Compute the square of guilt against an integral
    11    his age built when he was young: wrong,
    12    axiomatic: the sum stands thus: Along
    13    the curve X (none noticed the leap; what they saw
    14    was the red imprint) by which we know
    15    the nothing particular, the momentum
    16    carried him to the point beyond the dictum—
    17    Hic primus geometros—for a body physical, a 
    18    Mass, emits energy equal to zero, the stay
    19    Necessary to arrive at a base, as in Berger’s
    20    Formula for optics. Here we remember 
    21    the fallacy of inclusive force if we extend
    22    A to the absolute (He was, a day ago, threatened
    23    With dismissal for displeasing a superior)
    24    and call it the Cause: heat, hunger, air—
    25    these were just contingent. To recapitulate:
    26    Berger’s law does not apply here, as the late
    27    Projections of X show, space being non-mathematic;
    28    from A to B the descent exhibits a quick
    29    increase in force, though the exact ellipsis we know not.
    30    (The Blank and Blank Co., Inc., regrets to announce that. . . .)
    A Man Falls to His Death exemplifies how media, science, mass
    communication and language illustrates and explains life (and
    death for that matter). Despite the different factors that surrounded
    the characters' death (suicide), the form that the persona used
    was impersonal and detached. Reality, having various dimensions
    as interpreted by different academic and social constructs, has
    clouded an emotional understanding of a man's decision to end his
    life. 

    If you would notice: the use of geometric formulas to illustrate the


    fall, including Berger's formula for optics to scientifically explain the
    impact, demagnifies the man's motivation as parenthesized in the
    text. 

    It is a sad fact, that whenever we hear news on things such as


    these, the technicality that was called for overpowers the need to
    remember and respect the life that was. 

    Indeed, BLOOD IS NOTHING SPACE IS ALL.

    I think that it is how we use our mind to think. We have what you
    called critical thinking so that we will able to know the probability
    about this kind of a situations on how the man decided to end his
    life.

    Yellow is the color of the mind, of reasoning, and of the ability


    to think. But Yellow is a symbol for fear, depression, anxiety
    and suicide.
    Yellow is the color of hope, warmth, of clarity and positivity.
    But Yellow stands for disgust, cowardice, and death. Watch
    as all the shades of yellow seep through the colorless life of
    Aman in the film adaptation of Cirilo Bautista's A Man Falls to
    His Death. A life that blossomed through what ifs and endless
    possibilities.
