Variable Clouds
Sitting in a plane,
Beside a window, heavy-eyed
Sliding the seat back
Folded the sleep, and ...
Kept in the deepest
Pocket of brains
Seeing through the window
Black, white, brown clouds
Mass of liquid droplets
Fluttering and wavering
Trembling and quivering
Exciting and agitating
Thinking -- whether they're
Trying to find, discover, or
Catch something out there
Being in awe, wondering;
How much different WE are
From these Variable CLOUDS
