"The Edge" is a short story that I wrote in 1982 while living with Debbie Jaffe at 821 North Pennsylvania Avenue in Indianapolis, Indiana, originally self-published in a small personal edition. Some of these words were used on the earliest published recordings by Viscera (Jaffe & McGee) that appeared on the 60 Minutes Of Laughter cassette release. You can read the story of those days here
