What Boys Who Sleep Near Airports Know
What Boys Who Sleep Near Airports Know
Some propellers stutter
until they get the words right
Some don't stop roaring
until their motions are carried
Some drone on and on
about the nor' westers
Some whine like bandsaws
when they talk of revolutions
Some fling until sunrise
blade after blade after blade
Some whisk the dark into
spoonfuls the child can swallow
