Borderlines

Fever nights
and fever dreams
Perforations
and splits at the seams
Borderlines
The Edges of reality

I leap in my mind
But my legs don’t move
I dangle
Off the precipice
Why not let go?
For I can ever-surely sure as hell fly!
Right?

Who taught me
To think before I act
Who taught me
To hesitate, doubt, and fear?

All I want is to go
All I can afford is to stay here

My choices amount to everything
And yet
My choices amount to nothing
