when the kid was little…I’d take him out to the airport in the mornin’….around five…we ate doughnuts…drank chocolate milk, said the old man…adjusting a hearing aid….

tell him…look…look…big ole’ birds flyin’ in…green lights…blues…reds…flashin’…he’d laugh…just laugh….,kept talking…about a boy…a son…the old man looked out the window as a United flew over….

And that sound, he laughed, The boy just howled when those big engines let off noises….I told him the birds were havin’ tummy problems, he popped open a Pepsi can…

I don’t know what happened to that boy….where’d he go?….can you tell me?….he just took off one day…

yeah pop..he just took off, grabbed a doughnut…opened a Yoohoo…..,Things change pop…

my word….would you look at that one…..

I’m lookin’ pop…I’m lookin’
