daily commute
sitting on a ledge with switchblade
in hand
either lost in thought or ultra-focused
asking questions below &
expecting answers from above
this is how life & death decisions
are made
the world is on edge
billions living on the fringe
a number too large to comprehend
especially when sitting on a ledge
with a good book in hand
making life & death decisions
without any outside help
outside looking in
this is how it will be in the end
sitting alone on the edge
waiting for the last train
september two thousand twenty-one
