6. JET

In my dirty rearview mirror
I saw a bumper sticker on a black BMW
that said

               “I love Jet Noise”
                            
                            & immediately after
I looked up           
              casting my eyes upon
                    a silver jet
                            in the warm blue light
                    of the sky
that flew into a cumulus cloud
                          & never flew out
I never saw it fly out!
             which sent me reeling
             like a castoff
             born into a world of heartache
like an arrow from Cupid
missing the lover’s swollen mass
