life is a series of flights
we think we choose when to leave, when to arrive and where to go
but the variables are innumerable
plans, if made at all, are often challenged
and sometimes thwarted
dearly departed, dearly encountered,
traveling companions have plans too
and preferences and dreams
god, a good night’s sleep would be so helpful, i think
get me to the airport on time
Today’s free verse soliloquy is the result of dreams, texts, and holiday travel challenges. May we all be safe, healthy, and patient during this holiday season.
