paper airplanes

some poetry
you read is difficult,
without mentioning
any names.
you can tell
that it's been
painfully
constructed,
carved in stone.
the language,
the references
to greek
mythology,
the puzzle
of it all. you
need a dictionary
on hand
to figure out
what half
the words mean.
by the time you
get to the middle
you're ready
to fold the poem
into a paper
airplane
and float it across
the room.
