Great Regulars: This poem, like a good traveller,

enjoys risk, including the technical risks of odd images and jump-cut rhythms. It's an upbeat poem, which says the "coming new" may not be all good, but certainly good enough. It makes me want to pack my bags and head off to the nearest airport, if just for that sensation of beating gravity and riding the winds into a bluer, clearer light (plastic meals, volcanic ash, baggage-handlers' strikes and eco-guilt notwithstanding).
