Ledge

On the outside of the fringe
feeling extra
and unhinged
I am on the ledge again
and beginning to like it here.

the air is cooler on the outside
the silence
so soothing
like driving at night
on an open highway
that streches forever
never
looking back.

and I need the space
on days like today
if I had the ability
I would probably
even push my own self away.
