I Record A Conversation About Gliders and Airplanes

“Either type of plane would start to fly, in that— ”
A glider would not start to fly.
It can glide.
“Relative to the air, you are motionless. The only lift you get
is what the engine provides, the airfoil--
the jet engine. Sometimes propeller planes
push air across the wings to create lift.
The speed of the wheels would be continually increasing
When you remain stationary.

“Relative to … the plane is taking off at a speed
Matched to that of the wheels, and the wheels
Are constantly accelerated, at the speed
Of the treadmill. Yeah."
"In France they found a dinosaur runway. A pterodactyl
Runway. The prints they found,
The funny prints of markings
And wings…
My father told me about it…
A retrogression.
In his old age, he reverts to
A time before history. Also we raise giant fish, leviathans,
named Tembo--
He spiked the dumb one who eats all the food.
Nobody answers my questions. They’re all busy talking about planes.
Nobody talks about dinosaurs these days
except my father. A good man.”
