The Edge is Unstable
For Public Announcement

You are emphatically reminded
To stay away from the edge.
Please do not hedge
By spread eagling your body
Out prone on the ground,
Just to look down to the sea.
The view of the sky is magnificent,
And if it's grey on the day that you come,
Then visit, and when you are done,
Come again, return trips are free.

You should be aware
That rock can be broken
That exposed to the ocean
Steady erosion will change them,
And set into motion a crumbling
Destabilization.
The ground can shift without warning.
+
For the their own health and safety,
Staff may not bear witness
To events at the precipice
Whether accidental or
Committedly wrought.
We would urge you to pause and to think.
The phone lines below are twenty four hour,
And though staff are forbidden to step out to meet you
We entreat and beseech you
Please always come back from the brink.
