Ground Control Let go. I can do this. I have been here in my dreams. I have prayed… I have all that I need. I sit in the seat, of my own ship. I have earned my wings, from hours… on the simulator. (life) What could possibly happen? I could die. I could crash. I could die. No… I will fly. I will fly high. I will not look down, ever again. He has given me, an answer. It is clear, crystal… and blue.

Earth to Ann! Earth to Ann! Come back. WE STLL HAVE PROBLEMS---even if things are crystal clear for you! Hey, this poem was really fun. Can't wait to get off the ground myself, Ann. Know any good pilot training courses? ... Thanks, Gershon
