these were another's contrivance:
the systems of pulleys, the
ribbed contours to cheat gravity
and the myth of flight rendered believable

how easy it was to believe!
Soaring on belief, I saw the world...
the people, joyful and amazed....
amazed by me!

and now, reduced to nothing
but myself
i think of those people watching
a strange aviator crossing their heavens
....i wonder who they saw
