Ah man, I was hoping, from the title, to get a whiff of my home state, but the scene in today's poem could be in any airport anywhere. The poem does nice things with the confluence of birds and planes of nature and built environments of art and technology. The language is pretty pedestrian. Super ABABCDCD rhyme scheme though.
Favorite line: "treating bags / Like careful ornithologists, / Branded with destination tags."
treating bags
Like careful ornithologists,
Banded with destination tags. - See more at: http://www.poets.org/viewmedia.php/prmMID/19290#sthash.2zdUzOyN.dpuf
