Just the beat
Of The Seven Nation Army
Reminds me
That my energy is contagious
And it is
Colossal
As well as
Never ending
It rises with the song
And I can fly again
Like I used to be able to
When I was a kid
I used to stare out the car window
When my family would go on a drive somewhere
And I’d imagine
Flying beside
The car
Above
The tree’s
Below the sky
I’d watch myself fly
From inside my parents car
And time would pass by
As I would fly
And in my mind
I really was
My stomach would turn
When I’d watch the kid
Do a nosedive
I imagined I/He was Superman
When I/He grew up
And realized
Superman is knock-off version of Christ,
Our stomach turned again.
And I/Him stopped
Daydreaming
About
Flying
And we started worrying
About
Living
And
Dying.
When I was a child
I'd watch myself
Fly
And now
As an adult
I watch myself
Die.
But music
Briefly
Gives me wings.
-C.H.
