Altitude Sickness

Altitude Sickness

The crack
Of dawn
Taxi cab
Rides
Airport
Planes

The pains
Of growing up
You don't
Grow
Without
The up

Up in the sky
Beverages
Adults drinks
Now
Met at
First class
Residencies
Just in time
For

Arrivals
Limos
Names on
Signs
High hopes
Or just
High
From flights
Altitude

Sickness
It's a bitch
The drinks
The turbulence
Or just
Home

Missing
In some
Order
Scatterbrained
Because
Starbucks
No longer
Helps
Focus
My thoughts

Except focus
On the missing
Not left
To gain
For gained
Is no
Longer valued
For having
Is worthless

But

Not having
Is priceless
