First Class Show

After a nine and a half hour delay, we finally board the aircraft. Our eyes roll around from muggy thoughts of delays and poor customer service to gazes of bewilderment as we approach the aircraft. Almost a gift for being positive space interns, we were given the oppurtunity to sit first class. We overhear disgruntled passengers and worried mothers and exhausted agents, but we let that all fall behind us, as we regathered our composure in first class seat.

And off we were, accelerating into the night, with exhausts of relief and sighs mixed with ignited kerosene and high-velocity air. Take-off into the Memphis humidity and the moist sky that was painted with overcast and bellowing clouds added to the shear rush of the experience. Even after long, continuous sleepless nights, we could not just let this pass by without glimpses into our futures.

Then, the lightening and thunder. My poor girl, she was mad today. Angered by the fact that I haven't flown with her very much, distraught by the fact that I had to wait in an airport to escapre her humid fury, and saddend by the thought that we last touched was a couple of months ago. But she had forgiven me tonight, and she brought me a show that I will never forget like meaningless blink of an eye. The show lasted all night, with the exciting characters that danced furious lightening and sung harsh thunders. Right off the left winglet, she kept directing them to appear closer and closer to me, almost to the point where I can feel once more what it was like to fly in the cockpit at night with her. The hairs on the back of my neck began to react with the shocking intensity, and I could feel shudders of heat run up and down my spine, almost to control my dance to match the lightening.

Wa approached the anvil, and proceeded to fade away in the distance. My girl kept the flight smooth and with minor shocks of turbulence, to constantly remind me that I am still hers. Don't worry baby, I won't forget. You gave me a first class show, so I'll be your first class man. I'm here for your girl, I'm here. I am yours always, and always you, mine.
