a poem for all my T.I. friends, Without NASA


Without NASA (a poem by Sheri)


Every day we discovered lost worlds

at the top of every hour at the top

of our heads looming in an idea taking shape

making a scratch in the sky like a jet

making a burn mark go hard as a rock

the idea was to break distance into separate worlds

speed up the hour and live with inherent motion

it was something that could be done for escape

instead of drowning in beer we took the best thought

and went there instantly through space and time

there are worlds I'm talking about with you

ways to live in another way a better way and

we defined habitation as a cycle of the moon

I saw it happening to the naked soul deep inside

we got there and grew fonder and fonder of essence.
