- What if in the final minutes of your heavying
- descending
- the landing strip kept lying
- changing you back
- into the air the way a white
- backs away in anger when you approach with the directions you've been asked?
- —Ed Roberson, “The Aerialist Narratives”

—Joseph Donahue, “Metaphysical Shivers: Reading Ed Roberson”
