Now is the Hour (2008)
“I stacked two straw bales on top of each other, then spread out a couple bales of straw on one side of the stacked bales.
What I’d do was take a run at the bales, then tuck my head and flip over the bales, using my hands to push off the top bale, and then land in the soft bed of spread straw.
I usually did the flip after doing the balancing act on the grain elevator.
One day, out of sheer monotony, I decided to spice up my life by stacking a third bale on the stacked straw. It didn’t seem like ...much of a risk. After all, I thought, what’s so terrible that could happen?
I took a run at the bales, tucked my head, pushed off the top bale, went flying ass over teakettle for a while, then landed. I landed on my ass as usual, on the straw, but this time my head kept flipping while the rest of me stopped, and my face had a head-on collision with my knee.
Who knows how long I lay out on the spread straw totally knocked out, cuckoo, blood streaming out my nose. For three weeks my eyes were black.MoreLess
