The liftoff


Sensors are in action Slowing time Still you see See the shake and blur Still you feel Feel the vibration Still you hear Hear the thunder Still you taste Taste the excitement Still you smell Smell history As everything total Total to you And your space chariot It gives you data But no simulation Not one can resemble this As you light the candle And all system Go.
