Crash Protocol
When she finally goes down
she goes down hard.
The fall is long and complicated.
I put my head between my knees
and wait for the mask to drop.
(In case of water landings
your heart can be used
as a flotation device.)
She sends up distress signals as she goes
just in case someone, anyone
is looking for a crash site.
Out the left side of the aircraft
you can see the mess she made
(Tell the children to close their eyes.)
and on the right
all that remains of me.
