Tripping En Masse

 

Down this narrow aisle
just me and my carry on
which is a misnomer really
since my baggage stuffed tight 
comes with wheels attached
to keep things light

So slowly I roll
trying my very best

not to brush against

and inconvenience 

my fellow solemn passengers
on this grind of a trip
that ends with our shit
all getting communally crammed
into the size inadequate

overhead bin

Repeat and rinse

For upon arrival

on the ground

we collectively know

our cumbersome luggage in tow

has to somehow be taken down

to accompany us weary travelers

to our final destination

way over the rainbow
