"Do you like to fly kites?”

This question’s a setup.
If they say yes, better have
the kite handy! Get your prep
done right, beforehand. So what
if it’s night?

You know
they have luminescent kites
you can fly at night, don’t you? That look
like glowing multi-hued luna moths, eerie
floating crescent moons, twinkling constellations!
UFOs, too - but those are crap, you can’t really tell
what they are. I mean, technically I don’t know
they have those. Luminescent kites. I was more asking
if you know - but the technology seems about right.
Get your prep done! Phosphorescent string, too
I shouldn’t be surprised to expect.

Daytime might be better yet. But
you don’t exactly get to choose
your opportunities, talking to someone
do you? Get your prep done.

Keep a kite in the trunk, or two. 
Then you're ready day or night, 
whenever the question occurs 
to you. 

And if no one's around, hey 
Just ask yourself: do I feel lucky? And:
is flying a kite lucky? 

You either better know the answer 
to one of those, or I don't know 
what to tell you, buddy
