Little Plane

The sun is rising
materializing
through the side window pane
of this little plane

The fog’s a-lifting
the target’s shifting
through the town below
they don’t even know

Who to blame
to some it’s nothing more than an adolescent game
to fly this little plane

Celebrity’s expanding
the runway lights fading
as the church bells ring
for this little plane

Just five more to fly
and we’ll take it all for granted if you make it back alive
they all turn and wave

towards this little plane
