How Flying Feels

This is how an airport feels -

Crowded, hot and teeming.

Lines that wrap around and ‘round;

Babes and toddlers screaming.


Masks on every face except

So many noses showing

And no one to remind them of what

They should all be knowing.


Screeners who take pleasure in

Enthusiastic groping.

Stressed out families schlepping

So much stuff they’re barely coping.


Loud announcements reinforce 

The social distance ruling;

Gazing at the hordes you wonder

If they might be fooling.


Get on board and find a seat

And finally, you’re flying.

If you can, you calm yourself;

Believe me - I am trying.
