    Come to the Edge Poem by Guillaume Apollinaire

    “Come to the edge," he said.

    "We can't, we're afraid!" they responded.
    "Come to the edge," he said.
    "We can't, We will fall!" they responded.
    "Come to the edge," he said.
    And so they came.
    And he pushed them.
    And they flew.”
