04. WRITING

There's a secret I wanna show you
Let me take you into the garage.

What you see here,
these projects, these machines

What I've been working on here –
a new invention

I've been engineering.

I've been doing research for a while

This, a hyperpowered jet thruster,
…an antigravity flow chamber
still small enough to fit in the soles of your shoes.

Here ...biogradium steel component
endogrativity manipulator
 - a mobile propeller - 
(I've actually designed shoes 
for actual human flight) 

And
a shield
of invisibility 
to bypass TSA air space

I've been going outside at night.
I've gone a lot of places
Places of my dreams

I want to take you into the air
I want to show you the city, 
from above

Let's go back to Michigan
We'll cross the Lake.
imagine what the city looks like from far away
far across the glassy water, waves rippling
horizon to horizon

- - - - 

only water in sight
just hold on tight
We own the night

I remember 
as a little kid
standing at the flight deck of my oreo airship 
listening to “we will become silhouettes” 
before crashing into the sea of milk


You can really do anything;

alter reality

step by step

with the knowledge you ascertain


(Fading

effortlessly fading

into the blue sky)

there is a philosophy

not to hold any belief too strong

and everything is temporary -

time 

the difference:

you can decide to be happy

you must constantly be challenging yourself.

only water in sight
just hold on tight
We own the night
