JOTTINGS: THE EDGE OF THE POSSIBLE by JAMES OPPENHEIM

First Line: VAST IS THE CITY, CONCEALING FIRES BEHIND ITS WALLS, ITS
Last Line: TRIPPING ALONG, BREATHLESS, ON THE EDGE OF THE POSSIBLE.
Subject(s): CITIES; URBAN LIFE;

So for the adventure I choose the spacious night,
And go forth marvelling at what may happen:
Tripping along, breathless, on the edge of the possible@1.
