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.

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.
