gliders

inching forward and felt it sink
caught myself sleeping and i cracked the glass
to take a sip of air before
my foot lifted off of the breaks

just
let
go

before i could slam it back
i could feel my soul leave my body
the interior dissolved into dust

With clenched hands i felt a handle
and suddenly drag lift my chest into the air
the dust cleared and i fluttered my eyes
I was gliding again
