Quote My Quota
They call me G.I.
because I fly higher
than the government's interest
on a debt so national
you can't bear to witness
am I too sleek yet?
does my face not shine
do you not wish
you could touch the sky
too?
I am beyond you
let me calm back down
before I become my own idol
yeah, I went to flight school
back in the day
now my roots so grounded
I can let them uproot and hang
from time to time
polish my face
with a little grime
I don't mind shining
with the homeless
I don't find much shelter
in the ones that own such
little self value
they trash all around
where am I nowadays?
so far out there, never found
