Walking the Walk


along the edge of reality you freely roam

with all your knowledge and experience,

daring the challengers to follow you if 

they will, knowing some will while others

will not...  sorting the odds in your favor;

along the edge of existential doubt you walk

carefully wondering what your next course

of action will be should you fall off...

romantic notions favor the wicked and those

who pretend to be oftentimes wind up in 

the corners of a bad experience...  still,

you dare yourself to be bold and clever

out-smarting even yourself with your

extensions of thought that extend well

beyond the parameters of being safe...

along the edge of like itself you glide

as if sliding on a wet floor and when you

reach the walls, they all disappear and

and you are left in the valley of wishful

thinking that never gets completely funded.
