you have tasted flight,
you will forever

walk the earth
with your eyes
turned skyward,

and there
you will always

"When I was living in New York
and didn't have a penny to my name,
I would walk around the streets
and occasionally
I would see an alcove
or something.
And I'd think,
that'll be good,
that'll be a good spot
for me when I'm homeless."
Larry David
