I walk the fringes, the edges where few others will go.
It's because they're poorly paved, crumbling in spots, and rarely well lit.
The fringes and edges that is, because we know
the others are usually well lit, like candles in the dark of space;
I am, I am, I am, over and over again, stumbling in a darkling race,
with fierce determination, amazing grace and a fire that singes,
and burns without leaving a trace.
Which is why I walk the fringes.
