boarding pass (the round-trip)

the velvet polyester of the seat cushions turbulence unfathomable by the passenger

translucent horizons are framed in glass after the blindfolds lift

what makes of the perplexing atlas laid out beneath this intercourse

they line chairs with trays dabbled in their accessories

each their own eccentric flair, earbuds & fallout & other entanglements

none can help but gaze at the enticing array of thin sleets of white

splendidly settled between you and the toy figurines below

but at the intersection crossing your destination & departure

the landing was more bittersweet than expected

circling back with wings & luggage in hand
