Upon Learning to Fly

Upon Learning to Fly

 

She swore they

could fly

on their invisible

wings ..

Each held loosely

together

with pieces of string

and the odd

dab of glue

most strategically

placed here

and there ..

But as they rose

upward

he took note of

the fact ..

There was no

safety net erected

nor even

elsewise, attached ..

And so

there and then ..

He began to

visibly fret

and also out loud ..

Hey babe,

I’m not quite ready

to die yet, he cried ..

Well of course not

of that,

I have not a doubt ..

But are you

yet ready to live

though, she inquired ..
