D.C. to Newark/Astral
Woman
by
Dan Vera
I sat next to a woman
on a plane
who astral projected her body
right out of her seat,
by my face,
and through the tiny window at my ear.
We were flying beside the Atlantic
and she only wanted to dip her astral projected toe
in the saltwater.
I saw her blue form flash through the air
hurtling towards the water.
She splashed her foot up to her knee
and just stood there
in mid air
a big soothing astral projected smile crossing her wide blue face.
Just as quickly
she zipped through the air like a blue bottle rocket
through the window
past my face
and into her seat.
"Pepsi. Diet Pepsi. 7 UP?" the passing steward asked.
"Pepsi please." the woman responded.
She took a long drink
turned to me and said,
"Parched."
