Flight by Wall, William
Flight
for Rui Zink
I missed the flight
because of the terror alert
that has terrified everyone
I had some liquid in my pocket
that they thought
might be explosive
just the artificial tears
I have begun to use
because they come easier
& less painfully
& while I waited for my tears
to be decommissioned
the other passengers said
who would think of taking
tears on a journey
during the war on terror
& where did I think I was going
& who would I use them on
