Erling Haaland is lying
on his trampoline, looking up
at the sky wondering
if he chose the right career.
Imagine flying a plane –
having actual life
and death in your hands.
The chance to rest
your soles as they fly
over continents excited
to have you explore them.
No one has ever told
a pilot they’re shit
based on the airline
who hired them.
