megalopolis

Blue Angel

F-16's shoot across the sky of the city.
Blue Angels on display for the crowds.
The thunder of the engines roar twisting
ropes of white cloud vapor contrails. Signatures.
The great birds of war careen like sparrows
in exuberant sorties for the gasping multitudes.
Sunday venues across the megalopolis.
Oh Great Bird of Zeus!
What is your message? Where is your father?
