They

gave him a button
a magic
flying button

he was  a pilot
in his youth
skipping
church to tip
his wings
at pretty
young things
in his open
cock
pit bi plane

my dad
the ace

with a magic button
to fly
to kill
his pain
that was
killing him

and
if he could
fly

then
why
oh
why
can't I?



Hate is a dead thing. Who of you would be a tomb? -Kahlil Gibran

"skipping

his wings

young things
in his open

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy........
