1693

At 15,000 feet I get reflective.
There’s a wildfire outside my cabin window
Should I tell the captain?
The stewardess just said my seat can be used as a flotation device.
I wonder what it would like
to float on the Mississippi River
with my seat as my savior.
The Indian woman peels a Clementine to eat with her curry.
She’s watching a video on care of exotic birds
and I can’t help but think she’s a stereotype
and wonder if she knows it as well.
Outside the winding snakes of progress weave stitches through flatlands.

                                                                  If I fell
                                                                       would you catch me?
