/Fasten your seatbelt—
the ears scream. there is
a mathematics to this. streams: it’s a rush. like coming
to, breathing into, fogging up a hopeless blue window. another,
another: likes. head, fall back, arch. weight, give out. below is deep and dark and bottomless,
look up at the seatbelt sign, clutch the hand in your hand and say
so far so good
so far so good
so far so good
