Black ~ and ~ white. The drone at last picked up
By floodlights a mile above Le Bourget.

Bravado touches down. And surging past
Police toward their hero's spitfire engine,
His cockpit now become the moment's mirror,

The crowd from inside dissolves to flashbulbs,
Goggles, then gloves, impatiently pulled off ..."

To stay, lend my essential support.

But O woe ~ Know ~!

Me what's mine,

What method
Suits me, what clothes I prefer
Worn. For surely, you know
Me well enough

To know,
I share all I have. I serve
With all my heart, my ardor's light.
My will's yours
If right you, too, serve.

What dinner do you now serve?
For yes, my part,

Suits my appetite more than fine!
