Wing Theory. by Melanie Browne

The Tragedy

of the

Wright Brothers,

two men

with a great

passion for

aviation engineering

yet neither married

which is a damn

shame

neither knowing

the pleasures of

love,

the beauty of

a naked woman

both with

a devotion

for the correct

shape of wings-

yet not the shape of

the human heart,

they should have

been rock stars,

women throwing

panties,shrieking

lke they did at Elvis

I can't help but

think they never

did learn to fly
