With Short Poems - Jan. 31, 2022

you never have to stay

airborne very long

or fly very high

low on gas?

instrument malfunction?

landing gear issues?

you can usually glide

in for a safe if not

bumpy landing

the danger of longer

more ambitious flights?

the merciless pull of significance

and broken bones no one sees
