En route


six and a half hours later
we slouched in our seats, having missed
our connections, our meetings, our homecomings.
United Express wasn't at all.
all efforts to suck it in, look alert,
pretend to be listening and to care,
gone.
the sun is blasting us, our guts
extended, snoring in our masks, 
glasses slipping down our noses.
get us home
that's all we want.
