The Edge

He was standing on the edge. I waited. What else was I to do?  

What else?

I waited still as he looked around, then looked at me.  "It’s not so far down:” he said.  "It’s not so far"

It’s far enough, I thought. 

I stood, I waited.  They arrived, and as he looked at them he spoke only a word:
"until” he said.  

“Until”?  I wondered, as it spoke volumes in my mind.  What game shall we play now? 

 I spoke only a word to him, "now". “Now,” I said.  

He looked at the others who coaxed him towards.  “Now,” I pled.  

He sat as I shred that last piece of being, I went, I stood and I leapt.  “Now,” I said, as I fell.  

“Until when?” he shouted, as I went. Now.
