A Plane Ride

‘Brought a friend?’ I guessed

was your way of saying hi

I smiled and let you go inside.

20A was your seat,

20B was mine.

Your bright brown eyes

Invited me to talk.

Seated side by side

Our minds went

For a little walk.

You told me a secret about LA,

California. Laughing, I face-palmed

at what I did hear.

In turn, with you,

I shared my greatest fear.

Hours went by.

The lights were out.

Others slumbered uncomfortably

But we were kept awake

By our aesthetic chemistry.

Because of you,

I had the best flight.

I like how we connect artistically,

How you stole my unlit night

painting it, instead, bright.

I am glad that we at all met.

And together embarked on our

Imaginary private jet.

You owe me a CBR ride, Twin B.

Don’t you ever forget. :)
