Edge of Humanity by Scott Utley
I walk briskly at first
Shuffling sacred boulders between each foot
I teeter at the edge of humanity
On the lips of this cup
Brimming over with exquisite insanity
This wonderful world
A miraculous mathematical equation
And all the earth’s treasures
Are scattered before me
I skirt the precipice
Of this crater we call
The ring of fire
Up and over the Bering strait
South west down into the east
Down under and up
And over again
Jump I jump
A high dive
Skydive
Into the heart of this world
I am a skimming stone
On a great pond we call
The ring of fire
