Quote: Christopher Logue

Come to the edge.
We might fall.
Come to the edge.
It’s too high!
COME TO THE EDGE!
And they came,
and he pushed,
and they flew.

A brief but effective poem usually attributed to the French surrealist Guillaume Apollinaire, apparently erroneously. (I have done so myself.) But a great example of the modern minimalist verse, the sort of thing you tend to quote—thus.
