On cliff edge
overlooking the fall
colours in dying bloom,
about to plunge into frost
and cold iron grey.
On cliff edge
moving my mouse back and forth
to ensure my status is online
pretending to work from home,
listening to the radio debate
the depths of the coming recession.
On cliff edge
in line at the liquor store
avoiding the lane with the cashier
who rung me up yesterday.
On cliff edge
at the end of the bottle
climbing in to bed
knowing I will not dream.
