Boeing Nº 737-800 in F♯m
MOST OF WHAT HAPPENS HAPPENS WITHOUT YOU.
(Pause) Don't you ever feel this way?
I WOULD, IF I COULD. THE WAY YOU DO.
BUT WAYS ABOUND AS IT IS.
A REFLECTION HERE, A WILDFIRE, OVER THERE.
And when did you learn to speak THIS way?
ONE AT A TIME.
What do you mean?

WHY, ALL THIS TUNNEL VISION?
FROM THE DISTANCE, I MAY SEEM NO BIGGER THAN YOUR PUPIL
AND STILL BURN UPON NAKED CONTACT.
Like a summer day without sunglasses!
LIKE A SUMMER SECOND WITHOUT SUNGLASSES.

Well, good night then!
CAN’T SEE! BUT WE AFFORD SEEING.
THE CHARM OF THE WHOLE
THING IS UNDENIABLE.
