it's not like removing a nail
with two crooked fingers
and a fat tongue plunging through lips;
it's nothing so expert
just the slow transmission error
the unhealthy clang of my heart rattling;
the 'but-maybe' hauling itself out of
the trapdoor of my general know better
for what, some illusion of flight but
it's nothing like pilot error
more like a tendon coercing my foot tighter down.
