She made it
stumbling in over her baggage
taking it all on board
she couldn`t take much more
but it`s under control
where she can keep an eye and hold
you don`t ever want to lose it in transit
find your seat
fish out your walkman, kate
find your breath again
you`ve had to run all the way to the gate to barely make it
what is it that you can`t settle back there
that you settle so far back in your chair?
buckled up, buckling under
under sunglasses
they`re to prevent this sight
not for protection
for now and not for brisbane
a tissue balled in a fist
headphones hissing away in your ears
a crackling ascent, loud and over the engines
the inertia isn`t nursing
braced to arms not at all embracing
could this momentum over rob you of your weight?
at least you`ve got kinesis` blessing
and the heavens to thank you`re further away
what is it that you can`t settle down there
that you can`t settle down while you`re up here?
might this ending hard not calm down easier in just an hour`n a half?
