Edge

We walked to the end of the earth

& fell off­

we stood

hanging on the edge

of a cliff

& tumbled to our doom­

we stood

on the edge of the ocean

& jumped right in ­we found an empty space at the close of the day

& stayed there­

Time collapsed:

a compass for company.

Time stopped:

clocks & watches ground to a halt

& factories stood silent & empty.

I found a black hole

& plunged deep inside­r found myself slipping back & forth

in time.

Time kept on

slipping

slipping

slipping

into

the

future. . . . . . . . . .
