skyward. Meanwhile, the silent
birds float by, dip, rise.

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.

Love the contrast here in such a short space Ava, and something about the planes being described as “rigid” works so well.
Such a great sense of motion captured in this! Well done!
I have thought this too- and the difference in sound.
I love the dichotomy of this piece. The rigidity of the man made plane verses the fluidity and adaptability of nature.
I love this, feels like you've captured the feel of the whole sky in a few lines 😁
This is beautiful!
