A jumbo jet parked on my wall today
I closed my eyes
Counted to ten
But when I opened them it hadn’t gone away
It watched me sitting rigid on my bed
Goading me
While all sorts of wicked thoughts
Swirled around my head
A glass would capture it securely
But how to get it
From wall to window
Would still be an alarming mystery
So … I ran away to hide
Knowing it will still be lurking
But really hoping it would simply disappear
The same way it had arrived
