the flight instructor

as his small
plane
sputtered across orange
county,
he didn't care
if he landed
safely or crashed,
for what was
there to live for.
a wife
he didn't love,
children
he couldn't stand.
bills
and the promises
of more.
old age,
next stop.
that lovely mountain
over there, 
he thought,
looks like as good a place
as any
to end it all.
why not?
