Kitty Hawk Kimonos
Watching Japanese television,
two young women in kimonos
are standing beside a biplane.
That's right:
an old timey airplane.
A man is interviewing them.
They are having a very animated
and happy conversation.
I wish I knew Japanese because
I will never know why they are
standing next
to a biplane,
but they will stand there forever
in my mind, happy pilots
in their kimonos,
waiting to take off.
