On The Edge

Blowin' through space at the speed of fright,
Slam down the throttle and feel the rush;
The scene's just a blur,
Peak velocity reached.
Young light on the ledge,
Bright whirlpools beckon;
Mainlined again, no other way.
A brain's microstars shatter
Into bursts of light glitter.

Nothing much mattered-
(Yet, something ONCE sparkled.)

No time to change
not if he wanted,
No slowin' down
Not now
Not ever.

Cerebral spaghetti blown out like confetti.
A pulse starts to falter.
Didn't want,
Didn't try;
But... stop.
