Cheese grater blades taking a carousel ride, scuffed and slippery. Middle class diversity: soft versus shell. Headphones worn like earplugs, standers by wearing their thickest unpackables. I recognize--wait…nope, not her. Where does one find a Tom & Jerry tracksuit? I wonder if that guy is straight. Big hoodie and baseball cap energy in here. I got reported for asking someone to watch my bag while I went to the bathroom. Fair is fair. Our flight attendant needs a stage. After the plane landed she said, "Wakey wakey" - and I mean it. I think I'll need a neck pillow when I'm older. Like very slightly older. Like next time I'm on a plane. I turn into a dashboard bobblehead and wake up feeling like I just watch a three-hour Air and Water show.
Wow, is this nice. So much movement and imagery packed into like 80 words. I love this.
