Lift off

I’m susceptible to it
Today
To lift off

I can tell because
I take
My first sip
Of tea

And my brain bumps
The top
Of my skull

Like an astronaut
In zero gravity

And when I look
Through my eyes

Like windows
On a spaceship

Everything
That just before

Seemed perfectly
Terrestrial

Now seems
Terribly alien
