Flying

Flying for three hours
sandwiched between
two people who were
too big for their seats
I wished for a plane crash
just so I could move around
and breathe.

News reports are peppered
with drug advertisements:
Shrink your prostate,
lower your cholesterol,
lower your blood pressure
and that
restless
leg
syndrome.
Take a drug
and you'll be
normal again.
Were you ever?
