welcome to your flight.

As a Senior at Southwestern Adventist University I submitted this poem into a writing contest. I ended up winning the poetry section and my poem was later published in Spectrum Magazine. Here's the poem:

"welcome to your flight"

flight pattern frenzy

suit-case pandemonium

calm coffee giving goddess

crying baby, messy diaper

747 wake up

produce g-force bliss

welcome to america

welcome to bangladesh

welcome to here

destination yesterday

in the world of tomorrow

business casual

in the world of poverty

first class amenities

with precooked food

and peanuts on the side

where are you going

why are you leaving

change the world

with your frequent flyer

credit card

leave me to day

gather around to morrow

the flight of the steel beast

and its internal organic

carbon forms

please take your seat

fasten your seat belts

correct your table

tray’s downfall

excitement in the air

welcome to your flight
