i threw something and it stuck

by Frankie Sanchez

I've never seen the wrong side of _____*

I'm a random boy on the internet's cover of Maynard James Keenan's cover of Elton John's Rocket Man.

I'm sky-lit, universe-as-a-backdrop,
in flight, open like a parachute,
eyes wide like backwards telescopes,
if you're there when I land I'm gonna hold you like the sky
holds everything.

Author's Note: *[in-ter-ak-tiv] this is an excerpt from a poem I've been working on. (i'm a chemist of sorts) now if you'd like you could help me by filling in that blank with your idea.

Oh my. Maynard?! Love. Killer ending. Love everything about this. "I've never seen the wrong side of my future."

I like the blank. everyone can fill in what ever their mind tells them.

...a mobius strip. This looks to be the start (or midsection) of another sterling effort - look forward to seeing the finished work.
