STRATEGY

For only the space 
of a thunderstorm 
flash, 

I can grasp 
the cold, 
wet understanding: 

the difference between 
men 

who fall 
voluntarily 

like blades of rain 
from the bay doors 
of airplanes 

in deference 
to some occult 
vocation 

or pursuit 
of the most electric 
recreation

depends,
unequivocally,

on whether 
or not 

they ever plan 
on landing.
