airplane poem
the people behind me
strangers though deep in conversation
he explains his family lives in Brazil
interesting, though I won’t share more
except he mentioned they’re
“in the rainforest”
I once again accept the normalcy of my life
simply going to visit family
Tulsa via Chicago
I’ll be there for lunch
and I congratulate myself for choosing air travel
as I, for a short time, considered driving
a man is snoring nearby
I rarely sleep on planes
