Come fly away with me

who needs tampons 

and breath mints 

and safety nets

if you're there to cradle my fall?

i'd jump out of a perfectly good airplane

from thousands of feet in the sky

without a parachute

because i know you'll be there

at the bottom

with open arms

...well, not really and it would not be realistic to just jump out of a plane because who would catch me for sure? Exactly. I do want to go fly and escape and see the world and its magical lands filled with colors and aromas.

i watch the little red seat belt sign

flicker off 

the man next to me is asleep

he has a british accent 

and smells like hotel soap

my ears pop

and i look at the clouds

funny how clouds no longer seem

so solid when you get so close to them

(i guess people are like that, too)

a lady in a polyester red blazer

brings me crappy coffee and smiles

i don't think she wants to be here

i smile back

its just me 

hotel soap guy (now snoring loudly)

my notebook

and the clouds

this 53 minute flight

is much too short

and i don't want to come down

Ugh!!! Damn it I was just dreaming all of this up, but please do take me on some kind of trip. That's what you get when you nap in the middle of the day.
Happy Memorial Day!!!!
