our plane takes off...
a sudden jolt focuses
my eyes on the clouds

This struck a definite chord Frank.
One time when approaching the Toronto airport the plane was directly hit by lightning - it was a terrifying few minutes until good sense erected itself again and one realized all was ok.

Concentrates the mind wonderfully, as Dr. Johnson might say (but I'll bet you'd never get him in an airplane).

Don't worry! More people die by accidents in their car. So what! Planes have much space in the sky - much more than a car has on the road. For me flying is an experience of space and wideness.
