I've come to be one who cries when the plane the guys built in shop class on the TV <br />news is going to fly and everyone's there, parents, little kids, the teachers not even <br />dressed up, the mayor and the principal making speeches, the shop teacher saying <br />these are real fine boys, the guys standing around saying it's gonna crash, putting <br />their arms around girls and the teachers don't stop them, the band playing the school <br />song while the pilot gets in and checks everything out like you're supposed to, finally <br />kicks it over and taxies to the end of the runway with a drum roll and everybody <br />screaming already, and it goes off the line like a dragster and takes off! The band <br />starts 'Off we go, into the wild blue yonder' and the guys are slapping five and grabbing <br />girls and telling each other it flies! that piece of shit flies!<br /><br />Eric Torgersen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-ve-come-to-be-one-who-cries/
