The Other Wright Brother

i found a woman
sitting alone on
a bench

i opened my
trench coat
at 

first slowly 
exposing
myself 

and seeing
she had 
no

intent on
leaving
i

started rapidly
opening and
closing

my down
lined coat
until it

became my
wings
and

took me to
flight
as a

pale
white
butterfly

Actually a stolen idea presented in a different artistic genre, but thanks Richard.
