Tricks

have you ever seen them
stalking an airport
on a damp grey afternoon
fluffy white scarves
trailing off their wings
that's one of their
better tricks the full repertoire
is stunning of course
loop the loop
break the sound barrier
and just staying up's
a pretty good act
when you consider
the wings don't flap
and you can't see
too many moving parts
all the air's their catwalk
and they surge through it
as arrogant as super-models
their inner fire
their cold outer shell
