Night Flight

Plane rides offer too much time alone with one's thoughts.

There can never be anything lonlier 
Than this night flight from Houston. 
Surrounded by the darkness of knowing 
No one, 
Seeing no one, 
No human connection. 
There can never be a spark here, 
Just the sharing of germs and  
The close proximity of everyone 
Ten thousand miles apart.  
I'll see you on the ground 
And maybe we'll talk then. 
Maybe the gap between the earth 
and the sky will close around us 
And bring us together. 
Maybe not. 
This night flight has you soaring away 
And in the terminal it'll all... End.
