Blade Runner

All my life I’ve been on the edge,

a bit on edge, afraid to slip into the 

mainstream. I mainlined Buddhism,

which is like allowing space to seep

into your veins….no tools required.

My teacher had this analogy of

licking honey from a razor blade,

reminds me of Colonel Kurtz in

“Apocalypse Now” describing 

watching a snail crawl across a 

straight razor. My grandpa was

a barber in Chicago….had a few 

straight razor jokes…he told me

one. It wasn’t funny.
