aboard the aircraft metaphorical
bearing those employed
by companies large and small
a moment arrives when the cryptic
overhead lights instruct
that the time to leave has come
passengers are led to the open door
at the rear of the fuselage
where they will leap into the mist
the happy few will be strapped
into a designer backpack
filled with a carefully packaged parachute
of luminous gold
others are handed
a sturdy bundle which holds a
lifesaving paraglider of shining silver
a group somewhat more numerous
gratefully accept their sustaining dome
of spun silk and exit with confidence
the greatest number will be in a line
leading past a toilet paper dispenser
each individual to be ejected will be allotted
a single sheet
the one ply tissue will be printed as follows
“Grasp tissue firmly on opposite sides
hold tissue above head parallel with ground”
a hearty cry of “Good luck!” follows them
as they are assisted through the door
by a well placed boot
