A Woman With a Telephone Explains the True Nature Of Flight, BxW Still Life East Rockaway/Albany, NY 1973



Alan Catlin




Airplanes sustained flight by absolute
forces in suspended animation called
negative gravity. Similar principles
guided other flying objects, such as bird flocks,
winged reptiles and kites. Gale forcing
winds meant jet propulsion, summer storms
with thunder and burst clouds:
“What you refer to as an airplane crash
is an illusion.” She said, “A flightless bird
as in Mythology like the Greeks who sank
with Atlantis. ItӞs all in the Donnelly
text of the Antediluvian world you gave me
before you left home.”
Saying, I heard it coming down,
felt the impact shaking the ground where
I stood not a half a mile away meant nothing;
the spontaneous combusted houses, black
billowing smoke in the stunned momentary
silence before the sirens that never seemed
to stop were nothing, nothing at all.
