Here Come the Wasps
A gentle droning fills the officers’ club
Here come the wasps, someone says
A silence fills where conversations were
Some of the officers walk to the windows
To gawk at the new WASPS

Was bringing Air Force friends with her, I was

One Regret
I wanted to fly and be a fighter pilot
From my youngest age
Shooting enemy Soviet planes down
Before they could nuke us
The sky called to me
A lofty cavern of air and clouds
But my dream was just a dream
For when I was 14 my eyesight went bad
I couldn't see the blackboard
And had to copy my mates work
I had

Mission Incomplete Eagle Failure
All you have to do is swoop down in front of a grade school, grab up a kindergarten student, and fly off.
This will strike terror in everyone, my commander told me. He laughed at my surprised look.
It is Halloween, he told me. You can drop the child in a soft pile of hay or

Blue for loyalty.
Waving in the wind, instilling pride.
Reminding us of pledge.

Freedom of speech, freedom riders,

The Air Force
The Air Force
By Franklin Price
1/18/2017
The Air Force means so much to me
Started nineteen-sixty-five
Left college and enlisted
To mature and survive
Received an education
I would use throughout my days
The discipline I learned back then
Not just another phase
A career for me was not to be
Left at the end of four
Took along what I had learned
To search for something

When a weariness settled over us
Over pilot and navigator and crew
Settled on us like a resigned acceptance
Like the letting go before sleep arrives
Our shoulders sagged
And our voices became hoarse
It was as if we were entering another dimension
Where worry was not
