Lovers & Sweethearts

No compassion has
this cylindrical shaped ship
looking much like a plump cigar
with engines, wings and tail,
hurling through the atmosphere
at 400 knots and 34,000 feet.
Oh yes, it was assembled with care
by more than competent craftsmen
who take great pride in their work
and it has taken many flights
much like this before, and always,
I'll say almost always, every passenger has
safely arrived at their intended destination.
For example, this very flight would arrive at
eleven-o-nine p.m., precisely 51 minutes before
midnight, that would be 51 minutes before a
new year arriving upon the island of Oahu,
where tired but eager tourist would depart this
flight and engage the comforts of luxury hotels
and locals would soon be reunited with family and
friends and sweethearts and lovers would embrace
again in delight somewhere in the process of the
celebration of a welcome home Hawaiian night.

... and was your sweetheart on board? With or without her, this is a lovely write, dear James, you bring situations into the light by going deeper than most.

Love and Happy New Year!
