Advice

Say hello to the precipice

it's yawning for you

I say don't step back

but of course you do

What do you have to say for yourself

Now that you've slipped off the shelf

An inarticulate scream is all I hear

as I rush in the door

Muttering that you should hold advice more dear

I catch you before you hit the floor

Take heed

listen not only to you

breathe in others sweet perfumes

Now take

this advice with you

and use it as currency to buy a clue
