Alphabet Pilot

I practically live at the airport.
You probably know how it is:

Work, eat, sleep . . . (repeat).

But when I take off
my maroon uniform,
I become an alphabet pilot.

Poetry is the cockpit of slanted souls.
Want a turn at the controls?


Geoff Pope is the lead gate agent for Air Mobility Command at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. His poetry has appeared in Lilliput Review, Windhover, and Cornerstone.
