He spells out in dots and dashes
and double-dots and triple-dashes

the rhythm of his life.
We can read his stories,

his desires and frustrations
his delights and trepidations

as we hurry through
at nine thousand metres

from place to place
and pace to pace,

in seats with and A or an F,
looking down on his messages

drying in the sun
below our wings.
