good idea/bad idea

lets start a band called felix lighter

a stoner-rock/shoegaze mix with

a little bit of neil young

we'll get a van

a big van for our instruments

and people we pick up

on the street

there will be fights

someone will get punched

for crossing some line

but never in the van

because it will explode

teach me a D chord

it's the rock and roll note

then teach me A minor

because it is frail

and tell me it's a song

so i can stop watching myself

in the rearview mirror

on long trips

run (on and on and on)

i am done running.

i have moved.

last year i moved on a piece of rubber

attached to machine

attached to my feet.

i ran two miles.

once.

i have moved in.

four weeks ago i jumped

out of a parachute

out of a plane.

in and of the sky all at

the same time.

the pilot waved goodbye.

he wished me good luck.

thumbs up, two.

i fell in

into the dirt and grass

my sides split open and everyone was watching.

the pilot came.

two thumbs, down.

even though he flew my plane i had never seen him before.
