Sitting at the airport
Reading, writing things of the sort
Anything to pass the time
Finally you can board the plane
Pushing and shoving to get down the lane
Get to your seat
The screaming child is by the window
Close it
Open it
Play with the tray
Kick the seat
Plug in your ear buds
As you drown in the beat
The plane starts to move
At last it's time!
The child is occupied
Thrusters hit full power
Lurching forward, forced into your seat
Faster and faster and then
Liftoff
As you leave the ground
Your stomach turns to goo
Faster your heart starts to race
Yet mile after mile
You can't help but smile
