The greatness of man
Is only his wondering
in the clouds
In the air is very fine
Yet with his feet on the
ground is good too
MoLoKAI - sixty thousand
PAILolo CHANNEL
TSUNAMI WAVE

The typed poem balances wonder against groundedness, while the handwritten note below shifts abruptly toward island, channel, and disaster imagery.
The upper poem is simple and declarative: man belongs both to clouds and to ground. The handwritten `MoLoKAI`, `PAILolo CHANNEL`, and `TSUNAMI WAVE` disturb that calm with a more immediate geographic threat. Together they feel like two states of attention on one page: reflective altitude above, sudden worldly force below.

A short typed meditation balancing flight against grounding: 'The greatness of man / Is only his wondering / in the clouds', countered by 'Yet with his feet on the / ground is good too'. A handwritten geographic tag then undercuts the calm with sea danger, 'MoLoKAI - sixty thousand / PAILolo CHANNEL / TSUNAMI WAVE', naming the rough channel off Molokai. So reflective altitude sits above, raw oceanic force below. Source capitalization 'MoLoKAI' and 'PAILolo' kept as written.
