some people will take emotion
and shove it into the pockets of their jeans
for ‘safe keeping’
to stay until most convenient

i am not one of those people
if i ever catch a good emotion whizzing by
-which i do fairly often-
i’ll grab hold of it and let it
carry me away
to some distant land
i’ve never been
and probably will never see again

so when i caught you in the air
it was thrilling
just imagine
all the places you took me
in only a few moments and
even if it didn’t last long
i will always remember the journey,
and adventure,
excitement,
you gave me

and there isn't a big enough pocket in the world
that can contain that
