Runway of lights 
glass shivers from planes take off 
city never sleeps...

On arrival we kiss.
On departure we weep.
Lives so different merge.
Lives so similar diverge....

I am not lonely anymore
LAX - my neighbor next door
TSA is boyfriend
Daily travels pretend
Mile High Club is now on the floor...


Inspired by Carolyn's Blog on TSA Humor :)...

Red paint upon this stage
Overdrive from electric strums
Crowds gather from every age
Knife decals cross on drums
Brand new fender blue tinge
Arrival at airports always delay
Noon prompts a drinking binge
Drunk ballads from music's cliche...

If I must be plain
The popularity of a Train
Had begun to wane
And to skyrocket that of Plane
Airports sweeping lots of gain,
With little or no strain:
Billions of dollars in the main;
In case of Nigeria: Naira Rain:
A Lion complete with Kingly mane,
Though Air Disaster their combative bane....

Looking at you I understand 
That nothing is more suitable to airports 
Than great men's names

Like a flock of birds the planes 
Take off and land
Like your thoughts, John Kennedy

I feel so small
Calling your name
Through the engines' roar

A sudden desire
To die young
In this world of mediocrity
Surrounding man eternally...

I drop my friends when I no longer need them. 
Disposing myself of them at bus terminals, airports,
and other places.

Please do not take this personally.

And if you are a faerie, I may leave you in a bureau drawer, 
but rest assured I will leave it open a crack, so you can get in and out.

This pattern has worked well for me, so I shall continue
practicing it....

Oh, no! How terrible that everything in the area is closed
malls, theme parks, airports, movie theaters
how at this moment that the thrill of going out right now is gone

         That's because at this time everyone including myself is experiencing COVID-19 and the Pandemic; pretty sad isn't it?

But until all that is hopefully gone my family and I will stay home and still do activities....

Pelican 20-20
The Pelican stood an cursed awhile,
The air was like duck soup,
He'd been forced to walk 4 thirty miles,
His flapping got him poop,
The pollys here still deny,
There is no climate change,
Lock him up ol johnson, why?
His mutterings are strange,
The airports closed, no planes you knows,
The airs unfit to try?
Jumbo's gone, chicken barns, the go,
And sultry Pelicans caint fly.

Cancer sniffing dogs
How does this work and where?
Do they unleash the dogs in a crowd?
Who breaks the news when they present?

Cancer sniffing dogs
Do they take them to airports?
I do not understand how they do this?
Where do they do it? How do they do it?

Do they ask people who think they have cancer come in?
Or do they let the dogs roam around on the street
Stirring up business?
I do not understand, but I want to...

Viva Ukraine.

You can shoot them
You can bomb them
You can send missiles
You can send tanks
You can send soldiers
You can break houses
You can blow up flats
You can demolish airports
You can send your fire
You can’t break their spirit
You can’t shoot their souls
You will never conquer
You will always look behind
You will look in shadows
You will walk on nerves
You will go home in bags
You will get just desserts!
Viva Ukraine!

My relatives in Florida
Are gearing for a fight.
A hurricane is on its way,
Expected by tonight.

The schools and airports have been shut;
The food store shelves are bare.
Anxiety is on the news
And in the very air.

This storm is known as Matthew,
Category 4 at least.
Soon both Florida and Georgia
Will be fodder for this beast.

There’s a lot of hype ‘round hurricanes
So fingers have been crossed
Hoping that en route, this monster storm
Might somehow just get lost....

Tiring of travels 
Tired of seeing new places
Even cruises with all their comforts
Just happy being traveless 
No more restlessness 
Just being happy in Vancouver
With its mild summers, mild winters

Tired of waiting in airports
Delayed flights
Hotels with uncomfortable beds

Time to just be restful at home
And avoid all the hassles of travel
Only reminisce of happy moments
In the past
Traveling in my youth
Europe, South America, Asia

Just reminisce now
Of past travels....

Airports a blur they look the same
From one big city to the next
Departures delays and arrivals
Morning noon and night
Stuck midway in transition
The epitome of boredom
Everyone with a place to go
Their script their ticket and their mission
They all have a story they burn to tell
People they’re flying off to join
The ones they love and left behind
