DRONING

by Andrew Hilbert

FAA guidelines allow law enforcement to use drones with government permission.

They fly above us,
American flags emblazoned
where the bomb drop doors
are super glued shut

Above traffic jams and beggars
pizza delivery boys and police officers
pigeons and people

Going from one place to the other

Photographed and data-based
just in case,

just in case.
