#airship
Grey skies
flying moor
storm in a teacup
gas cell 4
the clock hands are matchsticks
...
The letting go of everything
in hopes of trimming the airship
this seat is no longer taken
...
In love with a bad idea
the zeppelin and the magnetism
closing in beyond the minimum safe distance
...
Dim blue flame
a psalm of survival:
days and peoples and places
are transatlantic numbers
crawling from the wreckage
the clock hands are matchsticks

An airship for me to share.
I wish I had an airship,
And flew up into the sky.
I’d wave to all the people,
They’d wave back as I flew by.
I wish a had my airship,
Nestled high up in the clouds,
Away from pointing fingers,
Nasty jokes, and lots of crowds.
I would take my airship,
Over mountains to the sea,
Find a quiet place above the waves
With only room for me.
I wish I had an airship
That made my problems go away
Maybe someday I’ll be free,
But maybe not today.
I wish I had an airship,
To help me make a friend.
But only one who really cares,
Not one that will pretend.
If I had myself an airship,
What would everybody say?
Would they want to get to know me,
Or miss me when I’m away?
I will have the greatest airship,
With a massive big balloon.
I will save up all my pennies,
I’m sure I could Buy one soon.
When I buy my airship
I will fly it past my school.
When the kids look out window,
They will finally think im cool.
I just really want and airship,
To see how freedom feels.
And not to always be stuck inside
My Annoying chair with wheels.
I wish I had an airship
So everyone could see
I’m not just a boy in a wheelchair,
There is so much more to me.
Until I get my airship,
I will keep it in my head.
At least in there I’m Always free,
To dream and look ahead.
I wish I had an airship
So everybody knew,
I’m not that different after all,
I’m just the same as you.

A stately airship gliding
Over the mysteries of the skies,
I am the smoke trail
That you have left
At your wake.
Evanescent as I am,
Would you really exist
If I had not followed you
Wouldn’t you have been lost,
In the colors of the evening skies,
If I had not pursued?
