He lies talking
"breaks the speed of light"
just barely inside
the speed of sound.

Jet planes! roar
(tiger cat Teddy)
discussing physics(cal) terms
ACCELERATE! (jump
the cliff-hangar)

Counting off [blast off]
3-2-1 counting backwards
I see forward backwards over
UNDER the blend and the-
air pocket! [POPPING,
CLAPPING.] you see?

"Keep your hands on the wheel."

This poem is about the lecture my dad gave to me about acceleration and jets. In () is my thoughts, you can see how they traveled. In [] is the sounds/things that my dad did. Oh, and my dad was driving at the time. :)
