(Having read my post over, I realized that a 1.5 hour layover in Phoenix leaves me wordy, so I’ve edited to a more rosie/annie b style.. Enjoy!)
Survived my flight from Buffalo to Phoenix,
Didn’t kill small screaming banshee-baby
Also spared: 2 women that thought the plane
Was a flying bar.
Called the flight attendant a “waitress”
Phoenix airport is too damn small
Doesn’t allow enough plugs
Eager laptop aficionado’s
Troll the airport to plug in,
battery life is never
the way it seems in the ads.
Feel like a sherpa,
Checked bag was too heavy
Had to shoulder the burden myself
See a slim woman
With a slimmer version
Of my laptop
She seems careless.
I feel even fatter
With my excess weight
My overweight backpack
And my bloated laptop.
This airport is full of them
Does Phoenix breed them?
Slim women
With long, blond curly hair
Long legs in
The shortest of shorts.
I’m 5’5
Dark short hair
Short legs
A Real woman
Has curves.
Reading my Bitch Magazine
On the plane.
Felt like I should hide it
Like it was porn.
The Luna Pads ad on the back
Beautiful words scrawled on the front
And inside.
Falling in love
w/ moving walkways.
Wish my life had one
To let me know my path
And help me along the way
Doesn’t need to drag me
Just support me, give me a little push
Make the journey a little shorter.
Only problem with the moving walkway
You can’t get off until the end.
You have to ride it to the end of the line,
Or run like hell backwards
Run against the grain
Pray you make it
Back to the start
Before running out of steam.
Falling even more in love
w/ my boyfriend.
Put money in my jean pocket
Bought me my airport dinner
w/o even being there.
Got me teriyaki and inari
Gin and Tonic on the plane
He told me jokes
When I started to cry.
Shaved off the goatee
As a going away present
We made out last night
No red ring around my mouth
From his prickly face.
Felt like I was cheating
On him
With him...
Turned the laptop back
To the west coast clock.
More tears.
Flights delayed again
My 7:30 departure
Now a 9:10 departure
Thank goodness for the laptop
And downloaded simpsons episodes.
Woman on her cellphone
Thinks it’s funny
A man named “pablo’
Actually able to help her
With her car
Plugs are at a premium
We’ve decided to start a website
Locations of plugs in airports
Listed.
New reasons
I hate flying alone
Can’t leave my post
To go buy water
After my soy and teriyaki
Drying out my insides.
Love observing people
At their most aggravated.
Get to see what they are really like
When stressed out
Pissed off.
Must end this post.
Or will go on forever
With useless observations
Of people in the airport.
