An
Airship in the Night
Once upon a time they were ships
of the air
And rarely seen in our rural
skies
But I saw them in the picture
books
In a three-color process, ships
of dreams
And then I went to the Palace
Theatre
Where from the middle seat in
the very front row
I sailed over London in Captain
Hook’s ship
Navigating past Big Ben and
Saint Paul’s
Last night I saw a ship on the
Houston approach
Its navigation lights signaling
to dreamers
