welcome to the spirit of sheep

you'd think they woulda picked a different name
ghost airline, ethereal being airline, dead person airline
altho i think it's all rah rah cisboom like catch the... isn't that how the slogan rolls
like the attendant's perky for those of you who've never been in a car let me introduce the seat belt to you oh great a fucking seinfeld routine for the mandatory safety equipment on this flight diatribe although i bet she recites it in her sleep but that's the only reason i forgive the next five minutes. that metal tube is church. our father who sits in seat 17b aisle AND window should this spirit flight become a spirit cruise the seat cushion can be used as a floatation device...FUCK well isn't that actually the point where i really do laugh, the jokes have been lacklustre throughout the whole ordeal although seat 24b to my immediate right with extra baggage breathed heavy and snorted poking her man, she's funny she said
and by the end laughter all around and they even applauded.
her buckled in sheep
if we see you smoking we will assume you are, in fact, on fire and take all appropriate action if you have a problem we'd love to hear that too please e-mail us at wwwdeltadotcom oh it's being eaten up did she say delta? i can hear seats 23 a, b and c, this is spirit! oh yeah! man is she smart all i can say is i'm glad she ain't flying the plane
and as we took the shoes off for the 15th time and got debelted stripsearched the officious woman with the buttugly security uniform saying sir this is in RED PEN you have to fill it out in BLACK PEN and we looked around every one of us tossing out gels and liquids contraband toothpaste sheepishly wishing for the smoothness of enamel such a goddaMNED CRIME and i thought yeah NOW i know why thousands upon thousands gave up their possessions and stood on the platforms to dachau, why only 7 of 300,000 WALKED from that schoolhouse south of the city, we're perfectly ovine, a uniform takes charge and humans line up and do as they are told even those proud americans if it's their officials telling em to do it, it's how boys with guns and shit in their pants run into the face of battle it's lining up at the hospital with that piece of plastic clutched in one's hand it's sociology man. it's the human condition
would i be there with them?
all these years of conditioning standing in those airport security lines
oddly i seem to perpetually get pulled over for second check
can they see the distrust in my eyes
yeah i'd run 2 steps get shot in the back
but i think i'd run
the thought has crossed my mind
