Weightless in the AirBirds with clipped wings cannot fly --
Or so you've always heard them say;
No one mentioned anything

Of wind against your skin.

Yet you're tangled up here in these wires,
Dancing a tuneless arabesque,
Tracing ornamental orbitals,
A helpless satellite.

But take to flight, origami kite,

It wasn't supposed to hurt, she says,
(She doesn't always mean what she says) -

How can you wield this flint and steel

The beginning isn't very original, but I like the design of the typography. I think I'm more just upset that the ending is very similar to my design for this contest but I know yours would get more votes.
