Too Late



Out the train window
I saw a plane about to crash.

I didn't look back.
It was a sight I wasn't meant to see.

If I am, I am led to it.
Left standing there,

thumped between the shoulders.
Still, it got me thinking.

That plane a parable in the sky?
Off-course, then found

-- too late,
its nose an inch from the ground.

I would like to avoid
the human parallel.
