"Flight to Athens by Way of Brussels, June 2015"

Noise is the constant.
Hum Hum Hum
Crinkle of food wrappers
Snaps of conversations
The modern Tower of Babel
What the ear senses,
the nose feels.
Sniffs microwave
Bad cologne
First
class
farts.
Headlines spied over the top of seats
read "Greece is Failing".
Tom & Jerry cartoons play on screens.
Hum Hum Hum
