If there are fish of the air,are there birds of the sea?
Could my daughter's betta's fins
be misconstrued as wings,
even as this wingtip of a plane
looks so very like
the tail of a fish?
Who decides what species should go where?
Who says I am a fish out of water;
perhaps I am a mechanical bird,
and I belong in the air,
trailing vapor across the sunset?
And who said black -- or dark -- is bad?
See what a lovely counterpoint my wing provides
to the music of the setting sun...
