| Mission Rain The watery glider exploded out of the foggy floater Flying downward, air roaring past him, thundering by His beaded face smashing against the air as the trees below The fields and valleys and hills, the rivers and lakes Grew larger by the second and half second and minute Pieces of him ripped off, colliding with other fallers Among the multitudes of free flying fallers He flipped and turned and warbled in the wind Rising on a rush of upward sailing wind And then dropping again, jetting for the ground For the grass, for the dirt, for the puddles, for anything solid. A bird flew past, taking out some of his compatriots A feathery fighter from the land of the living A burst of wind blew him left sending him sailing Reeling, unable to right himself He continued to fall downward, diagonally now The air was getting hot, he was burning, disappearing in the air A large tree flew by, the bark blurring by Green leaves and a rock and grass Splash! Mission accomplished. |
