red eyed home

there is nothing better than going home
and nothing worse than spending half the night
at the airport waiting for a red eyed flight


weary people dozing in their cowboy hats
with their winter coats piled into make shift pillows
most of the men are snoring
their women elbowing them - shush
and then the plane arrives
the room goes from near hush
to bustle, to an - ‘okay, we're going now,
time to get up to sit down’
and the children in Mickey ears
line up at the door
time to go now.
come back soon

Slices of life are the best Sara...I jot down little notes everywhere and sometimes those ideas blossom into poetry. You just took all of us on a mental journey...and reminded us all of the rediculous waits.
Enjoyed,
Taylor xo

The problem with flying fast is all the waiting, and the schedule not your own.

I was there.

There is nothing cabalistic about modern transportation. It works or it doesn't. It's on time or it isn't. At times it is a major pain in the arse, and will be, increasingly so, as the weather on this planet continues to change.

Everyone at one time or another has been inconvenienced in bloody airports. Your write, Sara, is quite evocative of my own struggles when I traveled with music.

Blessings to you ...

Ah, yes, the red eye -- you've captured the aura surrounding it, that's for sure. As a former flight attendant, I can attest to this!
Love,
