Strangers on the Plane
The women across the aisle
Have been talking this entire flight
It was apparent that, prior to boarding,
They had never before met.
I’ve been silently reading a book
That’s supposed to help improve
My social interactions but the constant
Chatter is a bit of a distraction
It continues even through periods
Of heavy turbulence
I don’t know how they do it
When I was younger I had to make
A list of things to talk about before
I called a girl on the phone
The last item on the list
Was always some variation of why
It would have been better if I'd never called.
