Can You Fly?
Response to Monday morning poetry word prompt
aerodynamics
Aerodynamically speaking humans can not fly
Not like a bird on the wing uses perfectly constructed wings
to fly
Speaking of aerodynamically speaking
that is to say
of a bird on the wing
a peregrine falcon is the fastest
flyer by far
Below the deepest blue of the sea
where nothing can fly
the many legged crustacean one
cooked oft in a pot is more aerodynamic
than a car
A car proposed to travel man around
could never fly
it’s aerodynamic’s designed by man
not yet
can not get it off the ground
But if a falcon can soar as a bird
on a wing
and a lobster can fly through the watery abyss
since a car is fashioned from all of these
then why oh why can’t I fly?
