Marvin and Bigger both had that in common:

They both wanted to be aviators;

They both wanted to fly.

Albeit, without aluminum wings

And a pilot's license -

A pilot he would eventually be …

.

Some would say, fatefully,

Fatefully, or regardless.

I wonder what Wright would have felt -  

Richard, the author, neither Orville nor Wilbur - 

But I wonder what satisfactions, what irony, universality

If he could have heard 

Marvin Gaye
