WRITING IN THIN AIR: I've been writing plane poems of late. I published one on a friend's blog the other day, as I mentioned earlier.

Here's another recent plane poem:


ON THE PLANE

At coming-down time,
right before you
see the ground
there is a moment of

“is this it?”

a leaning back falling
feeling like a child
sliding down
the stairs
on your behind
for no real reason
save for fun
and because you can.
