Yes, I am two days late this week but my excuse is valid. I spent an extended weekend with my son and his family simply enjoying myself. They live in northern Indiana, and there exists a non-stop flight between here and there. It's a quick trip by air, and, more importantly, avoids the hassle of dealing with the traffic in Chicago.
From where I live in the Cities I have a great view of planes landing and/or departing. And I never tire of watching them.
Plane Spotting
Rush hour in the sky commences
from a copse of hardwoods
or so it seems.
How many souls catapult
towards adventure? Who tackles
another day on the job?
Which suitcases pack
power points? Presents? Snorkels?
Suits? Sandals? Ties? Travel guides?
Ski wear? Beach wear? Wing-tips?
From my perch how I wish
my name graced a passenger list
instead of a book club confirmation.
