Is The Edge Worth It? Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Is The Edge Worth It?



Lolling around a DES office, waiting, people watching, noticing discrepancies all about me.
Relationships falling and breaking apart, others holding on.
Major illnesses spread around, taking turns waiting in line, hours on end.
Bridging spans of time, everyone waiting to get a pittance of help with food and medical care.
Is it even worth it to just exist on the edge?
