Past Disciple, Future Staid

if there is an edge to balance upon
where the cutting shatters one to
mindlessness, and the one side is
the depressive obsession with what
came before and the other is a baked
anxiety, extra zucchini, too much 
salt; where does one land in the balance?

riding a see-saw is challenging by 
oneself and damn near impossible
with three people. what's the difference
between one and three? two pasts,
one present, and a future (oh, I had
forgotten that there is more than
one; where is the edge, really?)
for the conclusion's epilogue.

interruptions are the way things are;
don't let me finish, I did not know
where I was going anyway (didn't you
remember what I was going to say?).
I would appreciate your indiscretion to 
see the way to the west pole
for which I have been searching
from every direction (imaginable).
