pilot v1 circa 2009

the brief brushed metal

the blue force reflection dizzying in halves

the balance in my body

shuttled through the equilabrated atmosphere

my tolerance for the smell of grease and heat and copper coils is met

i taste of saliva grey and burnished

the mechanical voices the tearing through space

I have lost all sound except some siblant buzz  

the blood pools in my body cavity

the brain is left grey and craving

forced to justify its thought


I grasp the polished pock of the yolk

the nose pulled upward by the rolling of my head

i feel the weightlessness of order and grace

the sharpness in lines

reveling in the physics of my silver orchestra

the horizon responds

my dials reel  


forced in some untimelly war

i perform a plotless maneuver

dogding a piloted threat

the reckless saw of an equal battle

the blood pools in my body cavity

the brain is left grey and craving

the true bleed of consciousness leaves me

recinding the last ravages of the drought


the sounds are over now

I am outside my plane

watching as some burning comet, a bright missle is stalking my craft

I can make out the letters on the side

the white casing

it is perfect except the soot near the propulsion where it's black smoke burns

i accept all judgment
