1-18 Traveling the Tarmac
i
Head against glass,
slow breathing in
anticipation as the
taxi ride ends and
waiting for the rush to
the very end, watching
it all drop away,
again
ii
Waving to the ground
crew while doing my best
to check out the stews,
sorry, attendants, in as
professional a manner as
possible. Not easy sometimes.
iii
Sun is hot. Not in general, just
while out there, out
on the black surface, hooking
up each bird in turn and
dragging it back and forth,
bringing them in
watching them leave
wondering if I’ll ever be
doing the same.
iv
Smile. That’s what they say.
Smile and help out.
Smile and even up the overheads.
Smile and roll the cocktail cart,
handing out quieters,
booze, snacks, headphones,
collecting trash
Just rolling along until hitting
the air, then sitting and rolling
and saying goodbye
Buh-bye.
