PLANES from ACTUALITIES by REVBJELDE

They stack the planes
A minute apart
To bring them home
For every arrival
There's a departure
All day, everyday
Metal tubes full
Of pressurized air
Stale with the sweat
Of Business travellers
On their tiresome rounds
Of Hotel breakfasts
And conference room buffet lunches
Anxious fliers grip the seats
It's not the flying they're frightened of
But the sudden, unexpected, uncontrolled landing
Their final destination that thrills them
Joyful holiday makers
Head to warmer climes
Sandy beaches, clear blue waters
Sangria, Retsina, Sambuca
Returning, sunburned
Disappointed
Their garlicky breath adding to the stale air
A minute apart
They stack the planes
Metal tubes full of people
Coming home, going away
Travelling in discomfort
One
Minute
Apart
They stack the planes
To bring them home
