the airplane ruckus

there seems
to be
a lot of people losing their
minds
on planes
lately.
screaming and kicking,
causing a ruckus.
hallucinating,
seemingly
possessed by the devil.
what is it that's causing
these mental
break downs?
the long lines?
the wait, the security checks,
the pat downs,
the airport food,
salty crackers handed out
by the stew?
maybe it's the air
everyone is breathing inside
that long
metal tube.
holding your legs
and arms
together for six hours
like sardines
in an oily can can't be
healthy either,
not to mention that little
box of a bathroom
called hell.
maybe that's it.
