the edge of acceptability
teasing out the rules
to fit fortune
fleeting chances
flighty saturdays
and the chance of a come down
dancing on the edge
of society
bending rules until just before they break
using them to swing
fly
leap
into just un-forbidden land
creeping on the edge
of inevitability
it always was
and is
and will be
as is written
the curse is blessed
the silent loud
a life unlived, unloved
crawling through thorns
of instability
escape worth the torture
friendship worth the burden
hardship
trials
lucky county
foods on the table
breathe in
breathe out
phone call’s a comin’
