Bubble
I'm in a bubble of thought
wrapped in Kevlar
False dawn
is the hungriest time
Everyone chews harder then
but the drill always works
even going home early
has a drill
Five minutes...
and I'm mentally checking kit
Too late for anything amiss
when the cold draught
from the open door
makes the webbing flap
and you never know
who or what is waiting
down there
Thirty seconds...
Could even be a tree
with your name on it
Go!

poem; I think it's about floating in the ether before your mortal self is decided, but I could be wrong. Love the way you most definitely don't where your heart on your sleeve in this one, and make the reader work for the message beneath.

Ah, got you this time Jack - this a small matter of a parachute jump for Queen and country. I would have thought the Kevlar might have given the game away, but what do I know - I only write em!

I thought that the kevlar was merely a metaphor. See, now this is why I rarely offer intepretations! Still, even though I got it completely wrong, I nevertheless enjoyed the lovely language and structure of this piece.

what is kevlar?
didn't get that parachute reference to be honest...
were you in the armed forces at one point then?

reading, I feel like an idiot for having no deciphered your meaning sooner. The cold draught from the door, the drill, it all makes sense now!
