Tweet, tweet, tweet, not a social media page
You and me,
on a wornout blue seat,
in airy pillows of the same shade.
My head on your shoulder,
you lightly tap me.
Honey,
We're here.
starlight, starbright,
first one I saw tonight
was really a plane.
blinking lights and then it was gone
taking me away with it.

pressing my body
into the hard
leather seat
that’s just barely too
upright to be

The more you talk,
The more my heartbeat races.
Taking off like a plane to Britain
It won't stop.
