In the Air between LA and Honolulu

Floating serenely above the clouds

Enjoying a Mai Tai, watching

Hula Girls on the screen, listening

to slack key guitar virtuosos

forgetting the world left behind

the airport world of waiting in line

of submitting to body searches

of overpriced bad food and

watered down drinks

and ill-tempered fellow travelers

of weirdos trying to kill us

with bombs in shoes or water bottles

prompting new laws that will soon

force us to fly naked and drugged

docile in our nakedness

stripped of dignity and mind

but not carrying any bombs!
