My Blog Lyric Fire: National Poetry Month – #NaPoWriMo #20 – Computers in the Cockpit

NaPoWriMo – National Poetry Writing Month

 

Computers in the Cockpit:

roger that

10-4 good buddy

satellite communications in effect

procedures proceeding

and all that good stuff

 

drifting up into white fluff

surrounded by blue sky tinged with gray

air pressure is compressing brain cells

precipitation levels uniquely liquefied

passengers otherwise engaged

 

time for some angry birds

crunching on nachos

drinking a dr pepper

gotta catch one life to live

before it goes off the air

time warner has an app for that

 

click, click, clack, clack

gotta send my wife an e-mail

let her know how imma hit that

instant message

pinging

and singing a catchy itune

 

jets in the sky

lumbering to an air force base

first lady on a plane

whizzing too close for comfort

pilots needing directional assistance

 

controllers eyes ablaze with pixels and pages

too busy decompressing

ignoring precious air space and human cargo

pass the popcorn

time for bones, skins and true blood

 

mad men

seem to be pretty little liars

their carelessness

will no doubt cause some damages

but in the meantime lets curb your enthusiasm

and enact some much needed law and order

 

breaker breaker 1-9

seacrest

out
