Sunny Jim

I sent away for it: a delicate
airplane model from a kit, the pilot
flying with guns blazing and other planes
shooting it out. On the box things look
thick with machinery and footholds

- pieced together, an intricate maze:
bones like matchsticks
scraps of tissue that dry taut -

It's the pilot without his cap!
Under the chinstrap and goggles
the face of a young blue-eyed boy: Sunny Jim
from the label on the peanut butter jar
This is not what I ordered!
