Jawbreaker Sister
Seated by the wing. A little face inside a ring. Plane came in late. Run up the ramp into my arms. My arms. You're a new thirteen. Wide-eyed and nervous just like me. Don't grow too fast. There's a lot of little things to see. You see, it makes me crazy to see you twice as big this time. I'm so happy just to catch you on your climb. Sister of mine, you live too far away now. Seems such a shame to only know your name. Clear blue of eye. Smile hides a precious underbite. Angel in disguise, I've got you in my thoughts each night. Tonight, does it make me crazy to worry about your bare walls? Seem so vacant. Are you sleeping there at all? She thinks it's stupid that we get paid to jump around. It's what I live for. I swear I'll never touch the ground. Sister of mine. I'll meet you past halfway now. Throw me a line, attach a cup and whisper, "Hey, hey."
