Of Dreams and Obscurity (Other) by wilco

Holding on for dear life from the edge of a jagged cliff whilst Johnny Cash plays ring of fire on an out of tune guitar. Greeting the end of the world from a box seat at Wrigley whilst passing a joint to the gathering people on the green lawn. Smoking the last cigarette from a pack of Camel Lights whilst a drunken leprechaun dances a jig and bleeds blue shamrocks. Standing on the banks of the Mississippi river at night whilst the moon dangles lazily on a line and falls into the water. Are these the dreams of a seriously disturbed gentleman, or the ramblings of an inebriated Irishman who grew too tall to leap?

You see, there would be no limit to how tall you could be if all that you wanted to do was jump. To leap (a feat that I associate with small "low-to-the-ground" beings such as frogs, midgets, leprechauns, etc.) you would need to be, as mentioned, low to the ground. If you grew to extreme heights, I imagine that it would be impossible to leap....that you would simply jump.
