There is nothing as transitory as these:
From middle seat through airplane window,
Drizzle on runway below.
05:57:31.
Delta to Logan at 09:00:00.
Shops to open in a while.
Thoughtless air fills huge terminal.
Outside, just cloudy.
In the smoking area, smell of tar.
But beyond the clouds,
Bonaparte crosses Berezina,
40,000 souls frozen in winter altitudes,
Socrates sends Xantippe away,
Persephone, and VV Cephei Alpha,
The largest star in space.
