Notes About The Poem

Aerospace Engineers

I
watched
attentively as
each fold was
creased so carefully and precisely,
and then tested with great care to exact the chosen form.
It was made worthy
of long, sustained
flight to compete
with the other
boys, whose
fathers also
taught them the basics of
aerodynamics from the
kitchen
table.

Caren Krutsinger September 3, 2022 at 1:23 AM I am making paper airplanes and boomerangs daily now with a child who comes to see me twice a day and is transfixed by them. Yesterday he brought his laptop and we tried to do them together step by step. His was perfect, he has incredible precision. I gave up on mine. This poem reminds me of it.
