"The Edge Is Where I Want To Be" ( Short response paragraph)

       In the poem "The Edge Is Where I Want To Be" the author's viewpoint is that life would be unintresting and lame if we don't live on the edge. As the speaker say, if we loose the edge " you're dribbling along in the/ uncooked vanilla pudding of life". Now ofcoure nobody wants to live a plain or boring life like "vanilla" right? But there is a way to live an exciting life and that's on the edge. The speaker describes the edge as uncomfortable and unforgiving but it changes you. I think what the speaker is trying to say is that on the edge life is difficult but the horrible experience changes you for the better. The authour also states that " you never know what's over the edge/ and there's only one way to find /out. Well, I think the one way to find out is to live on the edge and see for yourself what it holds for you. It might have answers to some of the questions you have about life.
