The stewardess asks me if my headphones are working. I shake my head and pray for her to hurry before the man on my right Continues to complain to me about his gout. So as I smile politely at the both of them, my eyes remain blank. Little do they know that I am not really on that plane, eating their processed food, watching some inane movie about How Stella Got Her Groove Back. I'm with you. I'm sitting with you on some grassy knoll, overlooking the edge of nowhere, And in the distance, there is nothing, because there's only the two of us, and that grassy knoll, overlooking the edge of nowhere. But even before my plane could land, you bring my replacement to our secret hideaway, and there, you show her the beauty you have shown me. Only she doesn't leave on a plane a month later. She gets to stay, and experience that beauty with you over and over again, While my eyes remain blank, And I'm forever listening to strangers ask about broken head phones, and complain about their pesky gout, all while some woman named Stella is getting her groove back. And to top it all off, I REALLY hate airplane food. |
