The Tram Dream

Climbing over people

at several hundred feet

the fair-like atmosphere

and lederhosen

the woman next to me

has a rubber-band

stretched around

her head

she's wearing an operating-

room mask

she complains

that the grass

needs mowing

and she points

"See," she says,

"a shame"

so I look

it's too far down

and I see something

like the Royal Gorge

through the space between

the wooden-plank deck

of a suspension

bridge

"Don't worry,"

you say. You

are always

saying that

bird-like, loud.

When I rented

the place, and

called out,

looked up,

waved too

Shoulder-blades

black hair

white,

round head

wing-span

talons

beak__

black

white tail-

feathers

blue sky

wing-span

wooden bench

arms stretched

its length

blue sky

"Don't worry

you can fly."
