Flying has always
been my dream.
I don't mean commanding
a shuttle or working
with planes,
what I mean is
hitching
a ride on quasar reds,
and leaping away from time;
and I mean,
effortlessly
shooting to over there
whenever I chance
or dare.
And if,
as it might well happen,
I'm sitting with friends,
I would politely say,
Excuse me, please,
but I really must be going.
I'm flying tonight, you see.
