made in china

as the debris
of metal
and fabric
falls from the sky,
at seventy thousand feet,
with the great
balloon punctured,
the blinking
stops,
the whirring noise
emitting signals
from
the complex machine
comes to a halt.
at last
it hits with a thud and
the mystery is solved.
a thin piece is turned over 
and it says
in bold print, like
everything else we purchase,
made in China,
return if found.
