How not to be a helicopter

Bring up uselessness
on charges of reality.

To be for is to be
in store, for sale.

Let the pale
get beyond
on its own.

Fast enough to move,
slow enough
to prove good
to be a hoax.

Hexagons
nor any other shapes
can make belief

in factional elegance
any more shapely
or supportable.
