another airplane

i will do everything i can to be near you
up to and including chugging
this 24oz natty daddy in bed
so i can sleep a little while
and wake up (hopefully)
to permission granted
or request denied

i know i know
how much you value your space
especially on sober days
i am good at staying quiet
i am good at listening to silence
but it feels important
that you would speak out loud
on a night like this

i have given up illusions
you have showed me
in stark ink
on quality stock
like the stars themselves
have some opinion
on our final outcome

i will not apologize
for my relentlessness

Hi. I'm a poet. I was a playwright/producer before the pandemic. If you're wealthy and want to be a modern Medici, drop me a buck or two: paypal.me/ksnapreads
