Only Wish To Be Taken

I Only Wish to be Taken – Robert Denton (March 2015)

I only wish to be taken
Unless I have already, but don't remember.
I think I would go willingly
And I'd ask them to take me home.

Unless I have already but don't remember,
The flight across the ocean.
And I'd ask them to take me home
Aboard their flying sparkles.

The flight across the ocean
Could pass time quickly enough
Aboard their flying sparkles,
While we drink tea and discuss philosophy.

Could pass time quickly enough
In defiance of the laws of physics.
While we drink tea and discuss philosophy,
I only wish to be taken.
