Fear of Flying

Early morning, packing luggage, hotel checkout. Dingy taxi, broken headlight, dirty ashtray.
Foreign cabbie, bad directions, snarling traffic. To the airport, my safe passage home.

Standard confusion, blur of bodies, drunken tourists. Baggage handlers, metal detectors, blared announcements.
"Flight now boarding", screaming babies, blared announcements, window seating, my safe passage home.

Tray extended, acrid coffee, stale peanuts. Plane ascending, engines whining, annoying pressure.
Boring movie, hardly caring, almost sleeping on the redeye, my safe passage home.

Changing direction, strong momentum, anxious voices. Eyes blinking, hands gripping, "where are we going"?
Metal rending, decompression, rapid falling, silent darkness, my safe passage home.
