one must first
enter the creature
before the flitting
and flower-finding
the banked turns
the uplifts and nose dives
the out of sights
find the captain
who sits at the controls
works the levers
a pull on one set
to turn one way
another for another
not operating on feelings
but need necessity
a program of survival
though I’ve seen something
once or twice at sunrise
whatever gear was shifted
caused a needless double spin
in a burst of flight
up a young thermal
a move that seemed a lot
like joy
