7:00 AM Transfer From Houston

First some dots,

Then some roads

That form a knot.

I watch above

A lush green spot,

A modest farmer’s plot.

 

When seatbelts click,

I feel the drop.

My stomach sinks,

Completely fraught,

From the futile battle

With luke-warm Fresca,

My bursting bladder

Is quite distraught.

 

We go down,

Then there’s a stop,

Through a gust of air

That is hot, we walk.

With movements like, a robot.

We take wing again,

And turn back the clock.

My headache is gone,

But my ears have popped,

 

This is a red-eye plane.
