Thin Ice
I walked the straight and narrow; took a flying leap of faith.
I staked the risk of seven lives. She asked me for an eighth.
I gazed across the frozen pond she wanted me to cross.
I weighed the possibilities, the profit and the loss.
I judged it a feasible burden, and so
I abandoned a wise friend’s advice;
I filled my pockets with rocks as
I prepared to cross thin ice.
I walked the straight…
I staked the risk…
I gazed across…
I weighed…
I judged…
I …
I
