.................................
f is a sad t
.................................

i am an airplane
a jesus
my nails outstretched
i fly i fall i fly

i am a pogo
a dagger
a pointed hum and bouncing
beyond a baggy sky

i am tea
and crumpets, darling
i crunch my china cups

and when i fly
i fall, my dear

and when i fall
i fly
