Flight lifts us
Not so lightly as a bird,
But ten thousand tons
Of plastic and metal.

Drifting past tops of towns
Effortlessly grinding
The engines
To stay afloat.

Below is
A pastel filled
pastoral scene.

I never noticed the
Emptiness of the fields,
Or their vastness--
Around a careless
Rural dream.
