The “flying” part I’m happy with,
though the juxtaposition with “object”
negates its suggestion of heroic action.
What really rips me is the “unidentified.”
It’s hard to sell your rhymes when you’re from here.
What editor would recognize that Worcester
doesn’t go with fester, but with blister?
with the pipes shut off
and the flying turtles grounded
find him by the Trevi Fountain
admiring that Roman plumbing
