Flight
Flight
First, obtain a sheet of paper
From anywhere, even liberated from the desks of a dictator
Next what’s needed is a bit of boredom and time
During a lecture, a match, whenever you’re so inclined!
What’s got to be done now is a little complex,
In a series of steps, the paper should be folded and flexed.
In half, from the top and halved again
Crease a diagonal and open to attain
A fully formed paper airplane!
Now comes the exciting part- Time for the launch!
Get ready in position, arm straight back, tucked in paunch
Focus on your target- make it the only thing in sight
And when you feel ready, release with all your might!
Watch the plane soar steady and true
Buffered by the winds around it, it pushes through
The going may get tough, but your plane carries on,
It may waver, but it won’t lose the path its set upon
And finally, the end draws nearer, it’s the finish line
Its nose hits the target, your victorious aerodyne
Bouncing off and hits the ground, gradually descending from its heights……
With a smile on your face and a spring in your steps-
Congratulations on your very first flight!
