I leaned back
As the engine revved.
The seat belts fastened
And the runway screeched
As we took off into the unmasked sky...

The rules of diplomacy
Were left at the ground.
Dormant, meaningless,
Like the woods that cater to the snow and mountaintops.

Glasses and headphones
Lay comfortably to the sound of speed,
The wind gusting against the planes wings
Like the rue of the night.

And each head was from another town
Another parallel of life
Sifting their way to their next chapter..
Searching for their next flight.

Their next meeting,
Next affair,
Their next romance,
But for a few hours..
A few frozen miles,
We sat.

love it
just got off a 20 hour flight
you really captivated me with lines such as ' Glasses and headphones
Lay comfortably to the sound of speed.'

It's funny how much each flight really has in common, no matter the destination, no matter who sits next to you.
