when lying down becomes a problem

it takes
a few days to recover
from jet lag
when on vacation.
the drive,
the flight, the traffic,
the luggage,
the kids, the wife.
all in tow,
or them towing you
constantly on their phones.
the lines,
the crowds, the noise.
all of us squished
like sardines in a tube
for ten hours.
you want to lie
down
on the tarmac
and stare up at the sky,
reflect on
the grape covered hills
not far away.
just five minutes
alone.
but then security arrives.
it becomes
a problem.
