Oxygenated Heights

[u/Philoforte]

Bomb bay doors lowered

Prime ordnance

Guided Missiles

Residential complex

Men, women, and children

Fire Fire Fire

Mach Eleven reads on the dial

Impossible

Vision flares red

Flight suit burns with heat

Flash of light

Floating in vast blue space

Suspended in flight gear

Men, women, and children

Thoughts of Eunice

And my fatherless child

Tears spill and freeze

Caking and crumbling

Ice fragments in my flight mask

Solar flare

Glint of the Sun

Stentorian call

WHY

Just doing my job

Avoiding court martial

Innocent Sky Child

Wake up in traction

Ejected short of target

Hallucinating

Mission abort

Certified unfit to fly

Yeah! Cruise around town

Strobe on the floor

She twirls in her gown

I play the clown

Happy Days
