Fear Of Flying
I once knew a man who
Said he enjoyed long haul flights
Because it was the only chance
He had to spend time on his own
Uninterrupted by emails and
The demands of work
He could escape into a world
Of tiny drinks and obtuse foods
White noise would clear his
Mind as recycled air clogged
His sinuses and five seasons
Of Seinfeld would offer hilarity
Until, one day, the worst happened
Not delays or turbulence
Or total catastrophic failure
No, one day they offered Wi-Fi
And now he is afraid to fly
Thoughts
Flying to Sydney is quite the trek. I await the portal transfer system. Make it so!
