Running for Your Life: Goodbye Larry Poem

(Flight to Hong Kong, March 2014)

Goodbye, Larry

Goodbye, Larry

My father said in the last

Phone call before we had

To power down all devices

No comma or pause

Not a salutation the

Empty phrase lubricant

Of life’s daily mechanics

Onboard Cathy Pacific

And away                                                 again

More a title for something

A sign ignored on a perilous path.
