Passport ticket and travellers cheques
Gigantic tin can capulted into the sky
Locking the door carrying two suitcases
Opening a door to an uncertain future

Reality has shifted by a few tiny degrees
And left everyone a little out of sync
Easyness has disappeared invisible and
Unquestioned in the past couple of years

Lacking the courage to make a clean break
Seeing a film of jaded dissolution settle
Understandable of course but not acceptable
Honest eyes and easy smiles were now needed

Life waylaid by regret drowning in untruths
Glancing skyward a plane flew low overhead
Answers were finally within reach and a
Shadow was to become real life flesh and blood
