Stowaway
tickets out of here
exist in a wide variety
of different shapes
some are made of gold
most are digital
and get delivered to
email addresses
those tickets live on
iphone screens
others are handwritten
damn near illegible
on old scraps of paper
the carriers of these
falling apart
shards of hope
clutch them close
tight against their chests
terrified that the ticket taker
will reject them
for being counterfeit
