Kittyhawk, North Carolina
That place where Wright Brothers
Proved the whole world wrong.
And they showed
How wingless creatures
Become floating vessels
To witness the first man-made flight,
Of how a little glider
Glided some hundreds of meters,
What took evolution, 53 million years,
Of strengthening sinews
And stitching feathers
And just like the B52, you see
Crow bombers bombing the life out,
While albatrosses dive like Concords,
And A380s make 360 degree turns
While in an office in California
A man named Elon Musk
Masterminds a space dragon to find
An exoplanet that can sustain life,
To master the spacey places
Far beyond Glastonbury,
Where Avalon still lies,
On the far edge of a dream.
