A line of clouds

A line of clouds
Cut, as with a knife
To rest
Flat side down
All the way along the horizon
Between that place
And this place
Twenty leagues
Or twenty fathoms of ocean

Now two birds
In unison flight
Outpace the boat
Of several hundred horsepower
We rise, we fall
We top, we tail
We have a pleasant trip
So the big screen reminds us
