Atlanta, London, Greece and back
\nTo London, Boston, ATL
\nThen, thanks to my friend, C. Black,
\nWe flew to LAX, as well<\/p>\n
In all the lands I\u2019ve ever been,
\nThere\u2019s never been a man like you
\nMy birthday-neighbor-lovely-djinn
\nUnnerving friend; respectful, true<\/p>\n
Serendipities may mark my life when trav\u2019ling near or gone abroad:
\nA banker whom I met in Greece was on a flight with me, I awed.
\nI met a lawyer, once, for Hollywood; I flew First Class for the first time;
\nI\u2019ll credit my dad with how we met: I chatted him up in the rapid climb.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s something social to airline flights –
\nIn earliest morns or in darkest nights –
\nWith a few, short hours, one could meet
\nA once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.<\/p>\n
Yet, in the flights from here-to-there
\nMy favorite trip will always be
\nOne home to you, who simply cared
\nTo meet my flight and talk openly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
