Mama Bravo strikes again or how not to love Boeing Super Max

Laughing gaily they take their seats
out of the hostile freeze into the cheap tequila and sun of Mexico
the plane hurtles down the runway
passengers waiting for those free holiday cocktails
BUT
LURCH
snap, crackle and pop
like steel rice Krispies

No time for screams
What’s left of the bodies
lies steaming on the runway and looks like Mama Bravo’s dropped from the Empire State Building
on a cold winter’s day
