“Smack—” brutal interruption. Boeings groan down the runway—flight! “Smack.” The ceiling. Freedom, flight, yes—there it is! The hollow, cloudless sky, The deep song of technology Ushering them all unto distant horizons, To distant shores. Now—“Smack!” The window. Portals of complexity, numbers; calculations. Confusion, darkness, loneliness— “Smack” Crippled wings and foreign tongues, Dejected, forgotten refuse makes for a greasy coffin As the carcass awaits decomposition. Defeat. Death.

Terminal Bird
“Smack—” brutal interruption. Boeings groan down the runway—flight! “Smack.” The ceiling. Freedom, flight, yes—there it is! The hollow, cloudless sky, The deep song of technology Ushering them all unto distant horizons, To distant shores. Now—“Smack!” The window. Portals of complexity, numbers; calculations. Confusion, darkness, loneliness— “Smack” Crippled wings and foreign tongues, Dejected, forgotten refuse makes for a greasy coffin As the carcass awaits decomposition. Defeat. Death.
