I can't see it from here
but I hear the distant drone
of a small plane in the clear sky
beyond my trees
soon it fades
for me, at least
while for the pilot
it's just vibration
Lindbergh stayed awake
by keeping the window open
could have nearly touched the water
and saw things
What a day
to be in France
and see the little plane
come down to land
