the airman

i will see what the airman saw

and higher

the view of the astronaut

and higher

the tick of the satellite

and higher

where height morphs to night

and quantum lays out just as massive

and unknown as the small it contains

ground fears play out on a surface

one giant map of free states

or a global ball of electric

as data streams over state lines

sat deep in this cannonball universe

sat deep in this one ward of stars

the higher we climb from our surface

the clearer we see where we are

where we are

where we are

where we are

where we are

where we are

where we are

where we are

where we are

where we are

where we are

where we are

where we are

where we are

where we are

where we are

where we are
