Airplanes: a free verse poem

by Alysa Obert

The interpellations of lives of lives

Spinning spinning ‘round spun

in separate spheres the membranes of our


bubbles stretch like the lungs every world

POPs the weasel or so that saying

goes to show us how a tinted


window on the Highway is no person at all but that

We are fabric mavericks knitted together eternally

Intertwined for a moment, each moment evading


creating lives but the silken sad uncertain

startles us so back to the deep

into the depths of the deep as we slink on


quoth the Raven nevermore we continue just

as before before we were alone and now alone

again so send just send me on my way.
