Fly-Over State
“Everything in
one direction”
—Sylvia Plath
It’s like being emailed—
Into Outer Space somewhere
It’s a one-way Trip—
And there’s No Return
The Westering Experience—
Petered out a century ago
Ole Edvart Rølvaag—
Trying to capture the Push
His Giants of the Earth—
Those Norwegian Emigrants
Dying of a heart attack—
Early in his mid-Fifties
Along with the Germans—
Welch, Dutch, Irish, Czechs
While jets Fly-Over now—
Not even looking down
