and you've illuminated the "fasten seatbelts" sign.
your takeoff goes quite smoothly.
unfortunately, the only cargo onboard is your own -
there are no other passengers.
what was intended as a flight into the sunset
is now entering great turbulence.
can a single engine, an unlicensed pilot
handle the pressure meant for 747s?
I am a novice when it comes to your profession;
I know only what my gut tells me
but this is my vow to you
my gravity-defying friend:
I will stand on this weathered runway
glowsticks in hand
and direct the safest landing possible.
just imagine me in that control tower
my voice in your eardrums, guiding you home.
- Jacqueline Audrey
