Albert snored, soft
as a hummingbird's
hover. His moody
smile suggested he'd
found his Genevieve,
Just beyond time
Just beyond space
Just beyond this continuum.

I watched his face,
gentled by dreams,
until sun winks off
the polished fuselage
hypnotized me,
Not quite asleep
Not quite conscious
Not quite in this dimension.

I coasted along a
byway, memory,
glimpses of truth
speed bumps
within childish
belief,
Almost ultimate
Almost reliable
Almost total insanity.

Daddy waited
in the dead-end
circle, reaching
out for me.
I couldn't
Find his embrace
Find his answers
Find his excuse for tears

Faster. Faster.
He'd waited too
many years for
me to come looking.
Hadn't he? I
Needed to see
Needed to know
Needed a lot more.
