The peace I feel in the sky
is unparalleled

I don’t mean on a plane
but on the 52nd floor

of the Four Seasons
Hotel Philadelphia

The hot hush of sound
as I exit the ground

Zooming out from bellboys
smiling miles from the town

Whizzing up through night
like hell’s angels in flight

Nothing touches me now
Just encase me in clouds

Encase me in a town where
I mean nothing to anyone

I’m alone and at home
Like a mossed rolling stone
I am safe in this place
Being Madeline for a day

Playing hide, evaporate
disappear and escape
