this paragraph is what makes joe meno a genius:
"at work, you make paper airplanes. for these airplanes you have a number of names: the two-spinner, which flies in two complete circles before its inevitable crash; the submarine plane, which goes underwater; the perpetual drifter, a plane you have devised which, through aerial locomotion, can stay airborne forever. we make two of each of these and send them out the office window, watching them take to the air, wing in wing, disappearing over the city. when they crash, giving in to the luxury of gravity, i think of kissing you and know that is exactly how it would feel."
