we dangle our hearts over

waiting for the booster to take –

more often than not,

more often than not,
just around the corner is
something you want, but

still out of reach – maybe play
it safe, maybe take a risk

so many clues to locking

in upon arrival,
tongues loosening,
mouths wet,
ready to once

the world

and the light is
out for the
emergency exit

borrowing the
invincibility of
childhood for one
