look up here
I’m flying backwards
backwards
and upside down
soaring over the earth
over your cars
over your blurred human haste
look how fast I am
and invisible
I see you
though you can’t see
me
wonder where you’re going
going in your big hurry
somewhere
anywhere
nowhere
are you running away
too
I wonder
what are you thinking
how many of you are sad
how many happy
how many mad
bored
lonely
how many of you
are frightened
frightened
and hurting
how many of you are hurting
how many scared
broken hearts
am I racing above
right now
on your road
to nowhere
if you were fast as me
flying here upside down
and backwards
you could outrun
those broken hearts
those hurtful words
the mindless abuse
your fear
you could do it too
I bet you could
right now
I bet you could
too
just like I am
if you were fast
and invisible
like me
like I am
now

I really like this.
Thank you Jenna. Just some thoughts that popped into my head, imagining what the woman on the overpass was seeing, and maybe thinking, from her perspective.

There is so much to be aware of and to run from but unfortunately, there is nowhere to go. The situation across the globe is akin to a runaway train flying fast with the drivers helpless. Yes, Rob, The situation is open-ended!
Hank
Some of the drivers are hopefully just asleep Hank. Perhaps with enough racket from those who are “woke”, they can be awaken as well. Hopefully it is not too late to prevent total derailment.
