b126 (7.28-1.2025): billie augered-in

billie augered-in
by a. dre amer
 
billie augered-in
pilot error, strikes
maybe it’s a sin, although he did it how he likes

now we do the visitation, cry with next of kin
billie was my friend my friends, and
billie augered-in

·       to “auger-it-in” (in aviation) suggests a nosedive: the propellar acts as an auger, digging-into the ground.
 
·       it’s a pilot’s way of saying (but not saying) that a fellow pilot didn’t have “the right stuff” to survive the maneuver.  it’s a nice way of hinting that “he screwed-up.”
 
in life, it’s similar: your closest friends (after you’ve augered-it-in) will distance themselves from a behavior of yours that contributed.*  they might even distance themselves from you.
 
maybe it’s a grief-mechanism, but maybe it’s an ego’s way of one-upping.

* if you auger-it-in nowadays, there will be many adversaries that are all-too-willing to point out how you screwed-up.  some of them might be your closest acquaintances.
