Life
Bottled up
In tight quarters
Held captive by time,
Space, weather
And connections,
You are walled in
By mind numbing
Monotony; confined
To minutia of a little world.
It helps to be prepared.
Imagination and creativity
Ease the hours of humdrum,
The steady drone of engines,
Those unforeseen delays;
Rough bumps along the way.
Scrunched up humanity
Makes for adventure;
Each day’s schedule
Presents its own challenges.
How and when you arrive
Depends on
Your durability,
Where you’re headed,
Your confidence
In the captain to get you there;
Little else is within your control.
Matters little I suppose
If you’re on the ground
Or in the air,
Life is still just life
Anywhere.
