Summer Vacation

Go away, then. Fly in
fact, away.  Herd yourselves
through check-in, security,
take off your
shoes and
coats. Do not 
joke about bombs or
knives or any-
thing at all except
maybe your bare
feet and what a 
pain
it is to have lost
to the bad guys.  Get to
your gate and wait for
the boarding call.  You
will feel important and better
than so many 
others who only ever
fly coach.  Flirt with
women, use your eyes, 
be hurried with your
children.  Remember you
are so very
indispensable to 
Planet Earth.  Never call
to say hello.  Never think
of what you are.  Never 
remember 
anything unless it
has to 
do with
you.
