is beautiful
but seems
very
unhappy.
She has not smiled
since I’ve boarded the plane
and I’m not taking that personally.
It looked like she took great exception
to having to parade down the aisle
during the safety demonstration
as part of her duties
but I enjoyed her parade
very much.
It is 6:00a.m.
so
perhaps expecting anyone to smile now
while teaching the public
how to use a seat belt
is asking a bit much.
As a young girl
when she realized
she wanted to travel the globe
seeing all the great cities of the world
I’m guessing she never imagined
that teaching uninterested passengers
how to use a floatation device
would be part of the deal.
