Man Made Means

if i were more
poetic i would
fly

with wings from
songs sung
but i

must buy a ticket
and sit for eight
hours

though a thought
of mine of you
of our

meeting is felt
immediately
but again

i must trust
modern methods
of thrust

then when wheels
will put me on
land

i must stand and 
while walking
towards

security
hopefully not
trip over

my own
two
feet

Thank you Sandra, but the reality, if all goes as planned, I will be flying to meet mi Musa and we will have our first face to face crazy mistranslated conversations.
