The first line creates a context which we can bounce off with our own memories of trying to create the perfect paper plane, and then get it to fly at least a few feet.
The phrase brings back our early teenage years and the excitement of first discoveries, and the possibilities of flight as if for the first time.
Thank you again, Alan. I am hard-pressed to say which I am more appreciative of... your grace as a writer of haiku, or your generosity as a student of the form. Warm wishes to you during this challenging time in your life.
