Sleeping on The Plane
I could be sleeping with anyone tonight. That dreadlocked guy who shifts and fidgets in his sleep, squeaking the seats and slapping my cheek with his wayward locks. The woman gripping my hand in terror as she waits for her Xanax to kick in. The man who Facetimes his wife before take-off and snores so stridently I'm dislodged from the grips of my own torpor.

Airport Arrival Time
Growing up, it was ingrained in my consciousness that arriving at the airport with anything less than two hours until the scheduled departure time was tantamount to ripping up your plane tickets and cancelling the holiday.
