We Crash Airplanes Too





in our small way

into tall
        - twenty storey -
                                buildings

This time one man died
one minute after take-off

and two were jolted off the couch:
          programmus interruptus


The doctor in the ground floor suite
            considered whether to cancel
            the last appointment of the day


The fuselage is still embedded
            in the window
            but the neighbours have returned
                                  for dinner

    I can but see a petite mort ...

    but then, zara, you know I always state the obvious.

    You are clever AND have common sense ... a good combination. Well I think you are beautiful, too. Now you may become dangerous!

    And I do feel guilty that I did not read you more.

    Love

    Inspired by a real event I guess telling from the comments of the other two Vancouverites down there, yet certainly not necessary for the poem.

    Who doesn't crash into buildings? .. leaving damage stuck both inside ourselves, inside what we've hit and the areas surrounding the crash site. But some how life goes on despite our crashes

    dinner, sunset, sunrise and the birds fly south for the winter.
