#99 Unites With Flight


If I overspeed
Will you be there
To pick up my pieces?
To try with all your might
To put me back together again
To rejoin the fight?

I promise to reward you
To cradle you and hold you
To Extend my leading edges
And attain powered flight

As soon as I can
I'll lift into ground effect
Clean up my gear
And gather up speed

Once I'm going fast enough
Pull back hard
Straight up like a rocket ship
Until our speed bleeds off

And we hover
Weightless
Hanging in space
Tailsliding back down

I'll flip us around
Until the earth fills our windscreen
Diving like a hawk
The engine revving to a scream

I'll pull out at the last second
Skimming the daisies
As you fill your shorts

It's amusing
It's fun
It makes us one
You and I

Man and machine
Like some macabre cyborg

I’ll thrill you
I’ll chill you
If you don’t respect me
I’ll kill you
