Edge People

Edge people 
stand outside looking in
having been inside looking out

Edge people
don't like boxes
to tick
to lock
to file and block
from memory

Edge people
are too big
for little spaces
they like head room 
to stretch
and elbow room 
to dig 
against the tightness of lips
the smallness of minds

Edge people
like the heat outside
when hearts inside 
are ice
they like the cool outside
when heads inside 
are hot

Edge people
remember the feel of out
fear the feel of forever in
Edge people
edge out
