Show and Tell

the airport isn’t so bad; airplanes twinkle for babies, lift-off, and carry them home.

“There were so many babies on this flight, weren’t there?”

“And all so good!”

remember when you were a baby? family members visited just to pinch your cheek. you swallowed a penny, or did you muster it up your ass? even so, living was easy.

friends who faked diarrhea to escape cardio work outs— where are they now? unaccountable passage of time, night-time clouds threaded by lightning. on average, every commercial airliner struck by lightning at least once a year.

they can handle it. the sunset scrolls onward.

when you fall asleep with your glasses on you become a ghost; four eyes seeing other ghosts walk with a limp.
