Turbulence (Free verse) by horus8
Dropping out of the sky
Like a silver-propped-drop
Of dew over Rocky Mountains
My tomato juice fountains
Me in the face; As I reach
For the stewardess's dress
Pants all-a-mess just in case
I FUCKING DIE
YES, FUCKING DIE.
-- Airplane
-- Children
-- Felon
-- Villain
But God, I could have sworn
That I was healing? My guitar
must not be found on the ground
In case this sound of screaming
Encased humans skips off the
Top of peak, and cloud, into oblivion.
Jesus, I should not have watched
'Meet Joe Black', and that new TV
Show 'Lost' the same day before
Embarking on this, of all things,
Liquor-less flight, that shit's not right.
Omens:
a. A boner last night that parted the sea of a red
haired beauty for what must have been a world record.
b. Insomnia the likes Charlie Manson hasn't even seen.
c. Everyone liking me?
d. Palms pouring sweat like an old man's bladder.
e. Wearing favourite pair of python boots
f. Recent success, children, love, friends.
h. An ironic hairdo, and no appetite.
Thankfully, right when I thought for sure the
tail of our plane was going to sheer off sending
the stewardess currently stuck to the ceiling (Without -
- her dress) and us careening out into the big
blue "Holy SHIT!".
My friend Chad, screamed
"YEE-HAW MOTHER-FUCKERS, I'm ready!!!
You should fly to Alaska, now that's turbulence!"
It was then that I knew; with a sick laugh,
we were doomed to live through turbulence.
Though, it did little for my confidence.
