alone as I ever have been

what am I bemoaning
but my chance
to experience 'this'

my chance to go
to hell and back
experience 'bliss'

loneliness
is staying
at my guest house today

and we're all trapped on planes
waiting
for our 'destination.'

a joke is cracked here
some small talk
there

even though
it might not be
the running that I'm doing
brings me home
to you
