fluid dynamics

terrain that water hewed constrains air, too
two fluids in the grip of gravity
inexorable as the morning dew
as catabatic winds flow toward the sea
leave aerostats to those who like to drink
inert as paint-splats on the morning sky
dynamic pilots work with lift and sink
the buoyancy's not ours, but we get high
if bits of Dacron on aluminum
empower us to quit the Earth and soar
what new technologies are yet to come
to give us few this one dimension more
while farmers till the valleys by their sweat
a mountain pilot knows there's more to get
