I Just Want to Fly
I'm ready to get on board.
Put my belongings in the
overhead compartment
or under the seat in front of me.
Make sure my seatback is
in the upright position.
Fasten my seatbelt.
Put my phone and Ipad
in airplane mode.
I'll do everything
I need to do to be
ready for takeoff.
I just want to fly.
I am a poet and photographer who likes sports, jazz and art inspired by other art. I served in the U.S. Marine Corps during the early 1970's and was assigned to the Computer Sciences School in Quantico, VA. I have published a chapbook of grief poems, I Keep You with Me. My work also has appeared in publications such as Thorny Locust Magazine, core. zine,The Enigmatist, Veterans' Voices and Kansas Time + Place An Anthology of Heartland Poetry. My visual art pieces combine poetry and photographs, and have been most recently displayed at InterUrban ArtHouse, Johnson County Arts & Heritage Center, Buttonwood Art Space, and The Smalter Gallery.
