'Possibilities List' Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Oh...
I can take you to the edge.
And have you think you can fly.
However...
IF you know you need a pair of wings,
Please do not decide that AFTER you jump!
I will not have you on my conscious,
Wishing I had offered you...
To glimpse my 'Possibilities List'
First!
And I am glad you are paying 'some' attention.
The others couldn't wait,
Until I said...
'For every action taken,
Be prepared for the consequences! '

'FLY! '
As in one's head!
Not flap your arms...
And take a dive off a ledge!
Those fools just wanted to fly.
Some folks are just so impatient.
And there's nothing on this list,
That says anything about flapping!
Do you see it?
