flight
herded onto the plane
sitting next to strangers
hoping that they will respect your privacy
unplugged
a moment to reflect
that’s if you are flying without a toddler
sterilising all surfaces
that he will touch or suck
stopping him from kicking the seat in front
or standing up and staring at the passenger behind
or making a noise
on those rare occasions
when i travel alone
i look forward to some time to myself
this is why i don’t want to talk
maybe i will read a new book
maybe i will peruse the inflight magazine
maybe i will write
maybe i will nap
