Me, with fellow flyers. Guess who’s who? (Ha!)
Not-Yet-Missed Flight
“The knack of flying is throwing yourself at the ground and missing.”
Douglas Adams
I’ve long proved capable
of missing much–
deadlines, typos, you,
a last best chance,
the writing-on-the-wall dance–that diagram
of there
to somewhere
that didn’t look like here–
Yet, here
is where I am,
with only my feet (maybe)
scraping ground, my head increasingly shy
of six feet above–
Could be worse.

Another 55 for Kerry O’Connor’s prompt on Real Toads to write a 55 word poem, using a quote from “Brainy Quotes.”
PS – I think I was about 5’6″ and a half or so at max; not sure now! Pic is mine, all rights reserved.
