Precipice

I saw her in the corner, when I walked in the bar. The Blue Goose Saloon...a lot of wild times there. I waved the 'tender for a scotch, and she soon complied. God Bless her.

I reached her corner, and whispered my name:

"Frank," I said.

"Eidha", she said.

Whatever~who knows who was telling the truth.

Later on, I met her in the hallway between the bathrooms, and lifted her skirt, and pressed her up against the wall.

God--it doesn't get any better than that.

Then...I heard voices. "Brazos, Brazos, can you hear me!!" And I woke up, to find myself standing on the ledge outside my 70th floor office...I looked to the right, and there was my secretary, Sandy, leaning out through the window I had shattered...she screamed at me, "Brazos, Brazos, get back inside, why are you doing this"? I didn't know, and neither did she...

I reached in my back pocket, and found the flask, and poured a half pint of Thunderbird wine all the way down to my innards, and smiled...

And then, it was almost time to go.

Briefly, I thought of people I would like to kiss good bye,

But they weren't here...do you know why?

And so I clasped my hands, and pointed them to the sky...

And tipped off the ledge of the building...

Do you know why????
