Luxury

The pilot closed the door. Taking a brief moment to look around. Patting himself down opening the door then closing it back hesitantly. He walked past the vacant seats, inviting himself to the copilot seat in the cockpit. He leaned his head back, observing the silence that surrounded. Staring off into the clouds. His back seeped into comfort. Sliding down a bit further. His knees touching the dashboard to the controls. He searched the sky. The chair becoming a more enticing place to catch a Z or two. The plane landed about half an hour ago. Still he sat. Constantly opening then closing the door. Feeling the breeze of air pass across his face. Stretching his legs from being cramped in a tight compartment for so long. Watching the other planes come and go. The constant flicker of port side reflecting off his face. How easy it seems to go home. Continuing to nod off into a deep sleep. Listening to the other planes sail off into the distance. The luxury of dreams
