Nov 30Drink It InMaggie Devers Someone handed me a latteThat didn’t taste like coffee And I realized why those peopleOn the plane never botheredTo put up their window shadesAfter takeoff
We threw ours open before wheels upIt already went halfway as she chose her seatFor we need to see:
Clouds dancing in the sky,Bags on those automatic rampsSwallowed or spit out of the plane,The heat still rising from the hot asphaltAs the sun sets
Is there anything more joyous than this wide world around us?We want to know how it tastes without too much cream and sugar But we won’t say no to those either.
