A Global Suntan

The image is of a pigeon with full wingspan flying toward the afternoon sun

Flying with wings at full span,
I am the world’s missionary man —
delivering hand to hand,
without needing to land.

I’m carrying the world’s master plan:
man-to-man without the middleman;
no need for a photo scan
nor Fantasyland’s Peter Pan.

In Front of us, there are miles of land
beyond the rocks and sand
of Manhattan Island.

Follow me, hand in hand —
let us all quietly stand
beneath our glowing waveband
to receive our global suntan.
