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.

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,

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.
