Wire - Sleep on the Wing
Hurtling through the skies
of North Africa
Carving through the waves
of the Strait of Hormuz
Dangling a lure out
in front of you
Present the bait
unable to choose
Upward and inward
outward and forward
Sleep on the wing
fly through the night
Ration your thinking to
what is good for me
Partition a sprinkling of
what is good for you
Compress the essence of
what is inside your view
Acknowledge the presence
and fashion a frame
Upward and inward
outward and forward
Sleep on the wing
fly through the night
Fell off the page
in the right hand corner
The morning after you told me
Ex-Pat was dead
One of the best a top spot runner
Half a second faster
she was pole on the grid
Upward and inward outward and forward
Sleep on the wing fly through the night
