WHAT I SUSPECTED WHILE SWEATING DURING TAKEOFF

I hadn’t asked
or overheard anybody talking
but I was pretty sure
nearly positive
that while I was sitting there
seatbelt fastened
tray table in an upright and locked position
waiting for the plane
to take off
or for the end of the world
whichever came first

was that all of them
passengers and flight attendants alike
maybe even the pilots

thought

and were discussing the possibility
or probability
that the guy sitting in my seat
the guy wearing my clothes
and my hat
and listening to my music
was some sort of
weird
vegetarian
hillbilly
terrorist
