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
