the edge

I like living on the edge
doing things a little bit crazy
like
an hour and a half before
a fifty dollar a plate dinner benefit
deciding
to
dye my hair
yeah
the edge
who knows what could happen
I have after all ended up
purple
orange
red
the edge
and anyone who has played
with tints knows
an hour and a half is a pretty
small window
no chance for mistakes
no chance for corrections
what the hay
life is short
who cares anyway
so
don the gloves
mix the mix
shake and apply
the way I figure
the worse thing that can happen
is
I’ll be jammin on the dance floor
worken up a sweat
and start drippin
“Atlantis Natural Medium Brown” 5n
wear dark
black is good
just in case
the edge
and you know it’s all worth it
when you
collect
a half dozen or so winks from strangers
and your ole neighbor says
like your hair
you look
hot
damn right
only hot chicks
live
on the edge

I'm a very last minute person, I like it that way. For parties I'm never late as long as I show up.
