Not Edgy Enough

 

Out here on the perimeter
far beyond the boundary
of standard demarcation

but close enough to still inflict

cultural imperatives

on us out there natives

hangs a flashing neon sign
on a crumbling wall
that reads:

"Death is the Ultimate Trip"

This you already knew?

Well good for you

my connected friend

Remind me to unplug
that Epiphany cliche
and push away

to find a new perimeter

not mired down

by soul crushing

cliched pop reality
