Lift Off
On my way
to the wedding.
Waiting to lift off.
Flying across the country
is as ordinary
as walking to the corner store.
I smell fuel.
The captain comes on
to announce
a delay.
He’ll let us know.
I knew I smelled fuel.
I really should get my affairs in order.
We take off
Not too terribly late.
The flight
Uneventful.
Already I have forgotten
My affairs.
to the wedding.
Waiting to lift off.
Flying across the country
is as ordinary
as walking to the corner store.
I smell fuel.
The captain comes on
to announce
a delay.
He’ll let us know.
I knew I smelled fuel.
I really should get my affairs in order.
We take off
Not too terribly late.
The flight
Uneventful.
Already I have forgotten
My affairs.
