Fear of Flying

fear of flying
.
children, poor hygiene,
and intrusion into your
personal flight space
.

* * *

the humming of the plane
competing with the silence
between securing our
seatbelts and soaring
30,000 feet into the air
.

* * *

grown boys in business
suits – now with wives who tie ribbons
to their lost luggage
.
