Takeoff into tthe future.....


He says, "Waiting for Air Traffic Control to give clearance for take off at Sanjay Gandhi National Park, Mumbai.".

That's what it certainly looks like in this photo posted by blogger friend Magiceye, as part of the Mumbai Daily :Saturday Photohunt series.

And then one wonders about the hassles we face when we fly somewhere, and what a wonderful life this butterfly has.   Is there a lesson there ? I dont know.

There was certainly a poem there....:-)


A peep into the future.

Instant untaxied takeoffs,
at will
unhindered
by Immigration
and Security;
random stopovers,
welcomed
without visas,
and
bipeds frisking you;
complimentary
nectar and honey,
and the baggage ,
if any,
only in the mind.

The dance
of the wings
glistening
in the sunlight;
perhaps
the brilliant white
in the wings
is a solar collector
cranking up
the power
as it flits
through the green.

Going green ?
Boeing,Lockheed,Airbus Industrie?
