My Trouble With Flying
When I wake up the morning of vacation,
 I already feel of the cold, nervous plane.
 I already breathe the stale, cruising altitude air.
 I don’t like to fly.
 I am forced to imagine my tropical destination,
 Warm and exciting,
 But then I snap back to reality in a dark, crowded plane
 And a jaded flight attendant asks me if I want 
 Foul air-food.
 I resist the temptation to whip out my iPod,
 To drown out the voices of the bickering old couple behind me,
 Because I know 
 Whatever song I end up playing
 Will remind me of this 
 Same, awful feeling on the plane.
