Like a knife
Or a sword
Fine
Unrelenting
Unyielding
And he says we’re balance on it
As if we could just stand there
As if that is the easiest thing
In the whole wide world
As if we wouldn’t notice
Just there
See
Where the wrappers and films
And boxes
And outer cases
And empty packets
And tissues
And toothpaste
Cover
There
Where I failed to notice
And I think he is right
Only not balanced but teetering
Like at the brink of disaster.
