upon the verge...
upon the verge
always
right there
yet still
not quite
taste it
smell it
by the time
to kiss it
elusively gone
a whisper
in the night
a wave
from across
a tease
to drive
the stake
of crazy
deeply
interrupted
as usual
anew
a problem
a break
of something
small
or big
bills
escape
over the wall
windy tall
skyscraper’s
verge
some
for smoke
some
for sex
some
just air
as the city
high
stakes atop
hoarding people
seeking
more
the buzzing
hive
mindful
the dangers
the crime
the despair
anguish
heartbreak
poverty
always
on the verge
the money makers
baby makers
those many
too
simply takers
fortunes made
lost
in the noise
as mostly those
just paid
out
dollars
for dreams
for doughnuts
and dance
a slice
of
tomato pie
in the sky
landscape
void
of fauna
growth
all proceeds
processed
pre made
hard concrete
assets
brick
and mortar
milled timber
plastics
steel
as abundant
as theft
alone
isolated still
crowded
as salt
in the seeing
of visions
forward
new
innovative
made
in the ethnic
stew
sauce
on the side
another slice
back room
dice
double
the price
down
and dirty
yet
overall
nice
as the moth
to the flame
in blame
try
to resist
the urge
as is hope
all ways
upon
the verge
