Are Delivery Drones Fly-by-Night?


Drones might never make it in the big city: too many concrete canyons, errant pedestrians and unpredictable truck drivers, not to mention too few backyards to serve as drop points. That’s why drone developers have their sights on the suburbs, where other forms of delivery are still generally unprofitable. Whether drones can be a saving grace depends on whether they can make a half-dozen backyard deliveries an hour in a five-mile radius without hitting any houses, cars, people, trees or power lines.

remember all those white shirts
going door to door?
now they can send out 
drones
*
hovering around the backyard
playing hymns
dropping pamphlets
dodging rocks
*
and
they'll keep an eye
on you
and your sins
*
or maybe
they'll see such
goodness and mercy
they'll become superfluous
*
DRONES DISCOVER DECENCY
that's the headline I wanna see
the next time 
I swipe my neighbor's
