Under the Wright Conditions

Under the Wright conditions man can fly. So thought Orville and Wilbur and in those days, folks really named their children Orville and Wilbur. Eventually, their dream was realized; short hops at first then longer spanning continents and oceans. Till man wasn’t needed, our eyes in the sky can keep watch over Omar and Ahmed. And these days, in some places, folks really name their children Omar and Ahmed. a footnote to Ferlinghetti's "History of the Airplane"
