Stratosphere (i wrote it on helium)

Hang-gliding the wind

That cliff drops off so quick

No matter how long you prepare yourself

That jump shoots your heart up in your mouth

Just spit it up

Don't look down

And keep your eyes on the horizon

Shift your weight your hips will guide you

Earth and Stratosphere behind soon

You'll disappear

It's a bird's-eye view from here

I see how small we all appear

And that deep impacted crater my love through at her

Now I'm a distance star fading

I'm lightyears from earth

From that cold midwest

Contrast to New Orleans

Intense humidity

That's landlocked in sobriety

Heat interferes

But I'm learning

Adaptive behavior

Expansion

Friction

My relativity to the sun

As oxygen thins out into

Unbreathable air

My lungs will soon repair themselves

As I'm adjusting

To changing elevations

Heighth

Turns the air into helium

I'm a balloon in the shape of a body

Tie my wrists up in a knot

I won't burst until it gets to

Hot for you to touch

And keep your eyes on the horizon

Shift your weight your hips will guide you

Earth and Stratosphere behind soon

You'll disappear

She'll disappear. . .
