magic flight bloggage

For some reason, when I thought about a magic flight example just now, the first thing that came to my mind was Gone in 60 Seconds with Nicholas Cage. The part of Cage’s piston-driven mission that I’m applying to the monomyth’s magic flight is when he climbs into his “unicorn” Fastback Mustang and flees from police. The absolute most applicable scene in particular during his flight is when police think they’ve trapped Memphis (Cage’s character) on a traffic-blocked bridge. However, to continue his mission to save his younger brother, Memphis cruises up a tow-truck ramp in the Mustang at some ungodly speed and flies over the traffic block, successfully leaving police in his dust. Memphis is then able to continue his delivery of the very last heist car and stop his brother from being killed.

 

magic flight

 

Growing to again see home’s bliss;

Our empty house and rooms;

Our cats;

Quietly, patiently waiting.

Wondering if they’re lonely.

Betrayed?

 

The drive home goes much more quickly

Than the long drive before.

Wond’ring;

Will Johnstown seem more beautiful-

Or less since we’re bliss-spoiled?

Bye beach.
