Power Lines

 

Power lines set against a vivid blue sky with farm fields in the foreground.

I’m flying a Piper Cub; the airstrip runs between the uprights.

No matter how steep I climb, no matter how high I fly, the power lines keep me hemmed in, they restrict my course.

Even at the edge of space it seems; they’re always in the frame, obstructing my photo, ruining artistic opportunities.

There’s no room to reverse course. Flying a Piper Cub at the edge of space makes breathing difficult. I begin to fall…panic…awake.
