leaf-pile

Suppose it is a cool fall day, and to the delight of all you find a giant leaf pile next to the swing set. How would you jump into it?

• By way of the belly flop, because I will die a man's death1
• With a backflip off a picnic bench, as I'm talented like that
• With a (at least attempted) leaping font flip, while shouting "Cowabunga!"1
• Jump and land on my bottom, knees pulled up, to claim that childlike joy and avoid damage to my bones5
• With a salute, facing the sky and accepting my fate as the leaves behind me fill my vision and I become one with the Autumn4
• While I wouldn't want to jump off anything high, I would make a leaf angel adjacent the pile to let my anxieties and duties slip away, even if only whilst laying down4
