J. Amorose Poet Free verse

Flight To Asparagus

“Flight 1036 to Berlin is cancelled;
Please see us for further assistance.”
Why do customs have to be so slow?
Instead of getting where I need to go,
I sit in a bench on the side of a shop
In Peru. They said the connection was
Cheap, but now I am forced to wait here.
Eating green food-colored asparagus
Instead of drinking coffee in the cafés of Berlin
