We watched an airshow today

Jets flying in close formation

Splitting into two groups

Racing skyward and turning

Flying directly towards each other

A delicate fly-by manoeuvre

It was breathtaking to watch

The sound of the jet engines

The trails they sprayed out

Creating a big heart in the sky

I started to wonder if they would crash

Morbid thoughts of a head on collision

Visualizing the flames and smoke

I felt guilty about those ponderings

Until I shared them with others

Suddenly realizing I was not alone

Most people were thinking the same

Nobody wanted those plane to crash

But they all came wondering if it might happen

Thankfully there was no disaster

We were entertained and went home happy

Promising to come back next year

As we secretly fantasized about a future plane crash
