The seats push hard against our backs
as engines start to thrust.
We lift, as lift we must
if we're to clear
the fence.
Now, relax,
suspended in thin air,
at whatever height
the instruments declare
most suitable for flight.
And I am sipping water from a cup
at 30,000 feet.
It's all so routine
aboard this great machine
this wagon cart of fire.
