“I’m sure. Never flown before, tell me what you see.”
“You never flew?”
“Never saw the point in it, guess I missed my chance huh.”
“Damn i guess so, man. But it ain’t bad. Sky isn’t so blue anymore but it’s still there, land goes out as far as you can see,I mean it’s something.”
“Hey man who knows, I might find myself a plane one day.”
“Shiiit, if you do, tell me. This one’s seen its last day in the air.”
“Yeah we’ll get a new one, big ass airliner. Two man it all the way to the Maldives.”
“That right? Well i’ll hold you to it, then.” The pilot laughs, looking at his destination. The vast burnt out sprawl of your neighborhood. As the conversation goes on he feels an air of calm. “Hey I got eyes on Springfield. Coming in to land now. See you soon.”
“See you soon”
“Lowering altitude. Lowering, lowering..”
