Dead Before We Hit the Water

"Typically, if you see intact bodies and multiple fractures - arm, leg, hip fractures - it's a good indicator of a midflight break up"

"In an in-air break up like we are supposing here, the clothes are just torn away."

What's the difference between that and this?

We are all just falling with no realization

that we are dead in the water

long before impact somewhere suspended

high up in the stupendous formation of cirrus

we believe in the theory of carry

believe in the philosophy of catch

buy into the theology that angels exist 

working below silver metal wings 

at the mercy of auto-god-pilots:

Just tear away my clothes

before I start to fall I want to feel

my bones fracture.
