Hearing the Planes
By Bob Small, August 16, 2021
First
I thought maybe it was what a Blitz sounded like
in Iraq or London
so close . . .
not knowing
sleep had been split
and could not be mended

It felt next
like the start of a Doctor Who episode
but, at the end of that,
you knew all would be right
at the end of that
the Alien Life forms
would be gone, gone, gone
____________________________________
Finally we were awake enough to know
it was just a low flying plane
that would neither affect our property
or its value
only our peace and time
so I decided to put away
for now
my anti-aircraft words
