POEM: "Get On The Plane"

Get On The Plane
                                  

                                       for Greg Gamage


To overegg the ____
Only I can't think of the what
The lily, the moment, the cooking
The face that isn't looking


Mooncake, new case or the dog
Is it their door on Halloween?
Christmas or the New Year coming
Some other place they haven't been


My mate Greg was right I guess
About the zombies at the airport
Travel is wasted on useless currents 
Overegg it all and get away with it
James Bond in a cool white suit
I think I’ll leave the martinis alone
So many broken eggs I’m unmoved
Pity about the shitty legroom though.
