Lift Or Left Off

my feet are on
the floor as
the plane
rolls

down the run
way and at
some point
a feeling

of giving way
let's me lift
off of the
ground

now i'm
looking
down
on

clouds

I’m curious, what is the difference between a naturally and unnaturally enlarged prostate? Now back to the poem. I hate flying but I love that feeling of anticipation that accompanies it.

Lol nothing Richard. It's just my prostrate has aleays been thus way; so if I would get an exam and they would say my prostrate was enlarged I wouldn't be alarmed.
