When I look through the air
And cogitate over my existence
I feel like a critter
Stamped into a sheet of metal
Bearing an ironical identity.
My name drags me down
With its mythical weight.
I spread my transparent wings
Like a glider
And skim through lowly altitudes
Grazing on stained glasses of illusion.
I see so little, seek so much
Tied down to these limitations
Of my physics.
Sometimes, the distance between
My real and surreal
Flickers inbetween
Mocking me of this trapped being.
I smile and drift
Into acceptance of my confines
And dangle onto dreams
Of flying in freedom
Over the vast blue skies
Blurring the distance
Between my real and surreal.
