A Primer for Aerospace Trivia

Peter Magliocco

The airline bitches are something
Beyond belief, & the night stinks
Of tremulous paranormal refuse.
No one believes the criminally insane
Are smarter than us.
There are times when the human heart
Is spiked by 9-inch nails
Just for the hell of it.

And me? I sit in
The airport cafeteria at three a.m.,
Drinking bad-break coffee,
Knowing the aviation world

Betrays itself
In small & large ways
Every day,

That tyrants of the mind
Infiltrate the very stale air
Passengers inhale daily
In their flights of fancy.
So why do I think
Of Lord Byron’s club foot
As the county custodian
Shuffles his whisk broom
Too close to my feet?
To make another Post-It note
Out of all this, to tape
These words on the backside
Of my obsolete thoughts

before crashing
on the runway
again.
