used to

used to feel the thrust of our planet    
knowing that it is spinning one thousand    
and forty two miles an hour    
upon its own axis  
    
used to dissolve in the gnosis    
of a runaway universe    
expanding at break neck speed    
simply to experiment    
with its own existence    
    
used to fly
literally levitate    
until I wanted to show someone   
then somehow    
it was gone    
    
there was a time    
that I was honest
truth wasn't lost  
in the translation    
      
used to marvel  
at my own momentum    
and lend a jump  
to a brokedown traveler    
   
use to be able to sleep peaceful    
without any aid    
I used to    
be
