It all depends on the distinction between
the literal and the metaphorical.

For me, when I'm excited,
my arms rotate like helicopter blades.

On real aeroplanes I am so frightened
I shut my eyes and hug my brain

until my nerves hurt.  Nearby passengers
tremble.  These are not auspicious

circumstances for the blossoming
of a romance with the stewardess

or the girlfriend who's busy disowning you
looking out of the window

of all things and describing the shape
of Jersey.  Just like a big version

of the birthmark which has almost
faded now on her thigh.

It is best not to confuse a hot air balloon
with a water bed.  On the other hand.
