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
