The Arrival of the A380

So we built it
As high as all of two decks

And a sky, and as wide
As the span between two goals, immeasurable
Except in a line
(Across the turf).

So we built it,
Making history, first

To commence commercial operations,
Making history in the transaction.

So we built it.
It was the first

Of nineteen, and twenty
Wrecks of titans are the result as well
As its familiar future.

So we built it
Like we build dreams.

So we built it:
I still don’t see why
We can’t wish
Upon an airplane.
