closer and closer
I get
to the edge of
not knowing
the edge
of reason
wondering how it is
that life
can
lead us here
standing on the precipice
of
insecurities
wondering
about
the
fall
what happens to those
that plunge
twirling falling arms spread wide
welcoming
or
in that last few seconds
wishing
for
one
more
chance
wishing to take back the step
panic
flailing grabbing air fingers clenched
in fear
mind numb with doubt
I wonder
think I’ll just
climb down from here
and
go
back
to
bitching

Josie, this is great compassion, cause I know you wouldn't think those thoughts about yourself, or too many of us would kick ass so good, you wouldn't sit for awhile!

Some learn to fly, and some crash, birds I mean, Humans are dependent on one another. If you are flying, someone will tell you you can't and when you listen to them you then go Boom.
At the heart of the eight compelling nonfiction stories and five-article appendix which make up Dreams of the Immortal City Savannah is this interesting question: What would your life mean if you were living someone else's dream of what it should be?
