Wire - Sleep on the Wing

Hurtling through the skies

of North Africa

Carving through the waves

of the Strait of Hormuz

Dangling a lure out

in front of you

Present the bait

unable to choose

Upward and inward

outward and forward

Sleep on the wing

fly through the night

Ration your thinking to

what is good for me

Partition a sprinkling of

what is good for you

Compress the essence of

what is inside your view

Acknowledge the presence

and fashion a frame

Upward and inward

outward and forward

Sleep on the wing

fly through the night

Fell off the page

in the right hand corner

The morning after you told me

Ex-Pat was dead

One of the best a top spot runner

Half a second faster

she was pole on the grid

Upward and inward outward and forward

Sleep on the wing fly through the night
