35E

35E, 35E.
Stuck here in the middle
of the middle,
35E.

At my height any seat
can feel like misery.

I wouldn’t be here today,
if not for last night’s delay.

35E, 35E
trapped in this humid
sneeze of
humanity.

Everything is expensive, and still it sucks.
The cheapest coffee was four lousy bucks.

The grumpiness was extreme at the TSA
acting in their theatre for deferred pay

35E, 35E
I’m not sure in which
timezone
I should be.

United customer support has been totally outsourced,
hour seventeen on the phone; just the worst.

For the shareholders the texts all lie,
about being powered by GenAI.

35E, 35E
all of the staff
on this flight and the last
have been really kind and patient which is a testament to their professionalism and hospitality despite the overtly customer-hostile environment of modern American commercial aviation.
