the precipice

By November 8, 2013Acceptance

Did you stand there?

Did you stand there on the cusp?

The cusp of your morality?

The edge of your honesty?

Why did you leap?

Did you walk way?

Did you step?

I walked to the edge. With a person who walked to the edge.

I leapt. He leapt.

We landed in the exact same place.

I lost something. He won something.

We benefited.

I’m not sure how I feel about that.

Dichotomy.

A stranger once walked to the edge. A friend I hadn’t met yet. He lived. Miraculously.

A friend, my best friend, walked to the edge he leapt. We lost him.

He retired… he didn’t ask our permission.

My new friend got lucky.

I walked to the ledge.

I looked over.

I saw friends.

I leapt.

They caught me.
