Stopping at the diner

before heading to airport

grab a quick bite

at more reasonable prices

and play a few songs

on an old fashion jukebox

and now a Delfonics song

is stuck in my head

and I’m humming lyrics

working my way thru security

and boarding the plane

and riding the plane

Damn you, straight to Hell, Quentin

Jackie Brown in flight uniform

dancing in my fantasy

flight attendant decidedly not Pam Grier

offers coffee and or water

I drink coffee black

bad puns not necessary

as I’m riffing on a film

thanks to an arbitrary song selection

on a local diner jukebox

I keep humming the chorus

and reliving the film

I take a sip of black coffeeto

not really all that good

but it provides vital caffeine

The song will eventually fade

but I might as well just enjoy the ride

there are far worse songs

to be stuck in one’s mind

and far worse images

to fixate on than Pam Grier

in a flight attendant outfit
