An Airplane in the Sky



An Airplane in the Sky
Rabash

Ten people are standing,
Looking at an airplane in the distance.
Its size
In their eyes
Is just a tiny speck.

Some of the people have binoculars,
Showing the plane as much larger.
But each of them has a different kind of binoculars.
One set of binoculars greatly magnifies the plane,
While the other magnifies it less.

Therefore, one viewer sees
A four-meter airplane,
And the other says it's only three.
Yet another claims it is only two.


They are all telling
The truth about what they see,
But the differences among them
Make no changes to the plane itself.
Rather, the only differences are in the people
Looking at the airplane.
