Dully glittering slivers of jet airplanes sharpen their bent wings across a stony sky. They slice the firmament like almost invisible razors, high over Park Slope on approach to JFK.
The silhouette of a bird flaps heavily across the street, a controlled, directional tumble of feathers and muted noise just overhead. The bird, body of bone and feather and beak, is something awkward and alive, while the jets just look obscenely linear, surgical and unnatural, the product of a mind of steel and wheels.
