by Jerry Ratch
I look good
Together
Got these penny wings
I could actually fly with
It all becomes so clear
Sound goes down
Sanity returns in an instant
The night is bigger...
I'd rather stay near the ground
I'm not a practicing angel
. .
I see more
Than you
A piece of hair to you
Is a snake to me,
And snakes are mean worms
To a giant, like a tree
Think how much less
A giraffe can see
With her face among the leaves
Or an airplane, a very high,
Serious airplane
A jet is out of the question
And a rocket
Is like a flea...
I'd rather push a pebble around

To a giant, like a tree"
