Sunday Poem: “Clear Sky”

 

Canada has yet to find

a replacement for the aging F-18.

 

Process dragged

for over a decade.

Budget tight.

 

The enemy may never come.

 

On YouTube,

a novel machine

– built of used printer parts –

folds and launches

paper airplanes.

 

Attention, Procurement.
