Rambling

In the Air

Gabe is in the air
Lion’s gate is around the corner
It’s all very Sirian

They released the Twilight movies on Netflix
Which is not very Sirian
Years ago we watched New Moon in theaters
I scooted over a seat when shit was getting too amorous
In typical Alexa fashion
Avoidant attachment style in full bloom
Full moon
But it’s waned over the years
Avoidance, coping, and the like
Waned to make way for awesome
Inner awesomeness recovery
Like a program for Windows 98
My first computer ran Windows 98
Those were the days
In some ways

Airports are a trip
You see every kind of relationship
Mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, partners in life and in crime
You see it all there
Ecstatic hellos
Sweetest goodbyes

I always loved airports
Strangers coming together for a common purpose
Air travel
Not the grandest of common purposes perhaps
But if the plane is delayed, together we wait
In the same boat
In the same moment
For the same aircraft
Sharing time and space
With total strangers, but at the same time not
There’s a kind of magic about that

At the end of the day, at the end of the flight, at the end of the life...
We’re all just walking each other home
Flying each other home
Walking, flying, being…

So that’s that
Lions, whales, airports
15 foot potted plant in the corner
Which the movers loved
They also loved my huge curvy desk that used to hold my old Dell
The one that ran Windows 98
