I feel my boots
trying to leave the ground,
I feel my heart pumping hard. I want
to think again of dangerous and noble things.
I want to be light and frolicsome.
I want to be improbable beautiful and afraid of nothing,
as though I had wings.

Oh, I so wanted to write something deep and contemplative, but I'm afraid my first thought was: That coat! Man, I love that coat!!
lol - thanks anairam! I love it too, I must admit. It's one of those things that always feels good to wear. And I've just noticed that when I wear it, from behind it looks like I have wings... :o)
