anybody have a map?

He only has so much patience.

If I only knew where the fault lines lie,

I might not dance so near the chasm.

There are a great number of things I love about this--chiefly how much you manage to say without explicitly saying anything at all--but the one thing I really want to commend you on is the title. I don't have many beliefs about what poetry should be, but I do think that a title should not simply be lifted from the content of the poem, but instead, it should add something to the read. Yours does, even if in a tongue-in-cheek fashion, help to drive your point home. Lovely.
