A FRIEND of mine recently took me up flying in his cessna,
It inspired me to pen the following.

I look through plexiglass windows from 1500 feet, and wonder what kind of landsharks are schooling where old highways cross, from this a kings chair I see corn, tomatoes, strawberrys and alligator bits.

Down below in front yards are washing machines and cars on blocks.

In this perspective visual, I am peering.

A redneck girl in hot pants at the mini-mart.

I now wonder which branch of government new, scratches it own head in doubt impending disarmament of this blue eyed clan?

In mud covered pick up trucks with gun racks in back.

I hear gun shots ring out in the distance with delay between sound and trigger release, in this place in America, spelled without a K, and now over the cypress tree tops the stall horn blares a warning like a civil war bugle.
