First Flight

Brian Looney

Ask yourself,
“Do I know what it is to be locked?”
Posit the question. Entertain the premise.
A locked man unlocks no doors,
but at least he has a purpose.

To be locked, the very state of being,
necessitates a need to be free.
Eager lockpick takes a dip,
achieves a partial penetration,
hesitates and
shrinks away,
resolves to
start again.

Any user knows that
drugs’ll click it open,
though they padlock
the user in other ways,
but(hey) at least they get
the user out into the open air!
No, no, no, I make no argument
in favor of drugs, You Honor,
I merely state the facts.

Invite out to New Creations.
The invite comes again.
This ain’t no one-time offer.
It stands to be repeated.
Dial when you’re ready.
So free you’ll speak in tongues.
So free the very air becomes
a guiding current.

At first flight you will be arrogant, insecure, tied to your victory, the need for honest victory; honest victory, hard-won freedom, proof that you have got it, getting better, maybe best. These kind of things take time.

Until the power of flight is yours to own and cherish, to tweak and maintain. What is natural for you will be magical for others. That which you complete without a thought. That seems to be my heading.
