Honey Plans

nor’easter skies, contemplate,
but my honey plans
to catch a flight

almost forgets his meeting
thinking about his airplane seating

traffic not in the Bostonian plan
speeds things up all he can

he’s made his gate...ready to load
sign changes to delay in bold

another call to his spouse’s cell
after another delay...ain’t that swell

he finally arrives after midnight hour
perhaps she’s waiting with only a flower

are you kidding me, folks,
i’m quite tired...stumble off to bed,
after leaning in with a kiss.
this is wedded bliss ;)

Airports are an otherworldly environment. A place between here and there, heaven and earth. You penned it well in that poem. It is good that people from time to time reach their destination.
