The passengers were soaked by the time we had all queued up the stairs into the cabin.
Plane guy hollered,
“Everyone throw your luggage in a front seat, then move to the back of the plane + take a seat."
That was the same flight that after finding a spot near a window i looked out over the wing + noticed a pink sticky note flapping on the top do not walk area. i didn’t want to know why.
The weather was in turmoil. i kept trying to forget that Noah's rainbow only promised no flood, not no destruction.
It’s strange how the many-thoughts-at-once thingy becomes noticeable when we are in emanate worry. i was concerned as to why there were two seats on the left row + only single seats on the right, that the pilot looked under age, why was it that it could be so drafty in such a small airplane, + what about that swarm of something in front of the propellers?
A white sheet lit w/ a flashlight will render a rush of motley stupefied bugs as they fly onto the fabric. Bugs in headlights. Kind of like hunters paralyzing deer w/ the spot light from their truck. What does this have to do with philosophy? I don’t know.
One of those days where every word sounds like a quote if it were just written down.
What does this have to do with who's talking? i don’t know that either. i once had a teacher, whose standard annoying quip had been,
“I don’t know, find out + tell me.”

Quan Yin told me in a dream, and not very patiently,
Time has past, you should know these things.
I was right there.... soaking wet... on a scary flight... guess I will go dry off!!
ReplyDeleteYou are such a story teller, and I was there with you.
ReplyDeleteha. i was on a flight to birmingham once when the bottom fell out...it was amazing just to listen to people...
ReplyDeleteI always white knuckle flights.
ReplyDeleteLet's see... consulting comment matrix... B7 should work: "You rock."
ReplyDeleteI almost thought this was a 10thDoM entry. That would rock. ;)
Brian, was it a sign?
ReplyDeleteThank you Jeff, I like your affirmative matrix.
Do you play Chess or Bingo?
I don't know, that 10thdom scares me. But, you know, I frighten easily.
Just remember, what seems like the bright light of enlightenment may just be a precursor to a rather nasty shock.
ReplyDeletegeee, i was on that very same plane in 1981, flying endlessly over water for more than an hour when we were supposed to have landed already in lafayette louisiana! :)
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like me. One little post-it note in the wrong place and everything's a conspiracy.

My mate's roomate in college was on a flight once where a fellow passenger was blown out of a broken window. High pressure of any sort is nothing to muck around with.
ReplyDeleteSublime. As usual. off to see Billy in the morn w/T. I'm not getting off the plane if I see a sticky note. Just so you know. L, L
ReplyDeleteAlan, Thank you for your insight. I have often thought it was one in the same.
ReplyDeleteLonnie, Thanks, I will write you on a more private venue.
The Best Flight I Ever Had Was Into Havana.On a Rickety Cuban Plane.It juddered& spluttered throughout the flight from Canada.Just As we were about to land the co-Pilot came out of the cockpit.Draped himself over 2 empty passenger seats at the front(legs dangling over the armrest into the walkway)& he lit up a hugh cigar.Sheer Class!
ReplyDeleteCommuter planes...cramped...abhor them...
