(Aeroporto di Palermo) (Sicilia 50)

now I’m a priority.
I hate security, the way we’re all guilty
until the x-rays prove otherwise.
and my file – somewhere,
the international database has every
entry exit charge clearance fart
that I’ve made.

oh, Sicilia, you’ve been a good host.
you put on the party and even invited me!
you chose to be graceful and kind
hospitable and charming
your meadows and mountains sang
your waters and people listened for me to
find my voice here.

now, I’m a priority.
E2 gets you just a little bit ahead in the world
but really I don’t need or mind being everyone else.
that I should be prioritized to get this privilege
probably worth the security screening after all.
