Coming Home Valentine

Where was I
I was going somewhere
Sitting in the middle 
Of a plane a young boy
In the back talking on and on
At the top of his voice 
Everyone else trying
To sleep and in the front
Seats somewhere a toddler
Screaming on and on
It was a performance
Of considerable power
I tried to read your book
About the decisions
We must make soon
I had to rally all my will
And concentration 
To endure your story 
Of innocence and murder
Endless talk on one side
Endless wailing on the other
