More a hum
That starts in the ground
And works its way
Up through the souls of shoes
It makes your skin buzz
Adjustment is quick and easy
.
Slowly the crawl
As we taxi along
Impatience grows quickly
As the hum revs
And then reduces
Over and over again
.
The giggling and the fidgeting
Is there a problem?
Still slowly we amble onward
Turning a bend
And the way is suddenly straight
Right in front of us
And the speed spreads a smile
.
Quickly it builds
And presses heads against rests
Smiles widen and the angle changes
.
Outside rectangular windows
With curved edges
The world tilts and angles
.
The Lego world comes closer
As we lean toward the earth
Ears popping and pressure
All around, pressing against
Head and arms and legs
.
The bump and jump
The captains tinny voice
The seatbelts on again
And the angle once more
Less obvious with clouds and wing
Being the only reference point
As we rise higher
.
Again the pressure
Making my round stomach
Feel condensed and my
Already limited height being
Repressed even more
.
And then suddenly
The pressure is gone
And for a second a feeling
Of pure weightlessness
My stomachs drops
.
I can't suppress the giggle
That reminds me of years gone by
When we would speed over
Hills bigger then normal
And lose traction at the top
That feeling of weightless freedom
