Serotonin Drop

I was somewhere between London

And Chicago

When I could feel the prozac running out

I had just finished reading “Pulp”

And I think Bukowski was right

I was born to die

Born to wait

And born to lie

Its been about 48 hours with barely any food

And absolutely no sleep

The screen read 1641 miles to destination

I am being cooped up with all of these restless

Assholes

Before the flight everyone was waiting in line

At least 45 minutes

People shoved and nudged

As you looked in their eyes everyone was ready to

Kill

I could have done without all of them

Now it is not even 6 in the morning

Jetlagged, ready to kill,

Ready to die

Heathrow Airport is a terrible place

 

What does poetry mean to you?

 

expression of thoughts certain activities that have impacted you

 

Was the run-on effect purposeful, because I liked it if it was. Made me think of constant travel?? Thoughts?? I dunno.

 

Heathrow IS a terrible place. That flight sucks, especially as a red eye.

 

I agree. Gatwick is slightly better, and the staff are nicer. Has anyone flown from Stanstead at all? It's not very busy.
