Approaching America

Our pilot on the Delaware
offers to show you
his laptop.

These are the buoys, he says;
I know exactly where I am
to within a metre.


This is the same way we track
our missiles
and drones.

You stare
for a moment
and say oh.

Then remembering your manners
add
thank you for showing me.
