Tripping The Wire

I danced
up the line
of knowledge
balancing on
the tightrope
of risk
and the world
looked different
from here
but the air
was worth
the climb
even without
the net

tripping the wire... first thing that crossed my mind was a booby trap.. and a trip wire... I see you are tripping the wire in a different but no less dangerous way in your poem...

More than any other poet I've ever read, you have the ability to put in short verse an incredible amount of meaning. This is no exception.
