Flying Home Day

No matter when my flight is

On the day I’m flying home,

I am early to the airport,

Where I sit and write my poem…


And read my book or magazine 

And grab a bite to eat

And work a crossword puzzle

‘Til it’s finally complete.


It’s not worth the anxiety 

To do last-minute things,

For any slight delay (like traffic),

Oh, the grief it brings!


For someone prone to panic,

Having hours to unwind

Leads to not one drop of boredom,

But a calmer frame of mind.
