airplane

Flying to Chicago
in a Continental
Shelf
Divide
breakfast
airplane
scrunched between
a virus
sneezing
coughing
hacking
and a newspaper rustle rustle
each page anew flung out
a hundred trees destroyed
with each printing of the New York Times
Its odd
even
that I am able to
write
wrong
in the turbulence
though we have not yet
ascended.
