Copter

In the quiet

I hear a sound

Fills me with dread

Every time

Though the years

I look up

Even when inside

I learned it

Then I was young

To know it well

What it meant

Never is good

Always is bad

Bad for someone

Always is bad

Long ago

Many years

Learned to fear

At first I was thinking Viet Nam, then I was thinking "Life Flight" when I realized it could mean both, and probably does.
