aeroplane

My brothers and I had this game,
aeroplane,
Where one person would lie on the ground
(usually the biggest player-
I kept dropping people)
and we would put our hips/stomaches
to the person's feet,
link fingers,
and they would hoist us up
in the air-
My brothers would pretend they
were fighter pilots
getting gunned down by
the evil japanese army
or some such thing.

Anyway,
for a while, at least,
until they dropped you
or put you down,
you could feel like you were
flying...
