Takeoff by Dennis Allen Lange

—

The slow parade, the idle wait,
…Then suddenly a roar
As if the lions as king of beasts
…Were all declaring war. 

No matter if the concrete looks
…As smooth as sheltered bay,
There’s rattle and there’s rumble as
…The tires roll down the way. 

A quietness then within the roar
…Like donuts with a hole.
And quickly doubled (quiet and smooth) –
…The fish leaped from the bowl!
