and Words
Lyric excerpts from Musixmatch.
I arrive in New York on a mid-September weekend day. I am my wife’s beck and call while she navigates a business trip. Having stayed mostly put since the pandemic, I welcomed the change of scenery. Having enough vacation time banked, I happily agreed. We’d only stay a few days. It’ll be enough for me to taste the city again. We booked our flights and off we went.
The flight itself was uneventful. We arrived early and shuffled through the desks and lines. TSA wasn’t considerably different today than it was pre-pandemic, which is still slow and inefficient, but a ‘known quantity’. We arrive at our gate with enough spare time for our flight to JFK airport in New York. Upon the announcement calling out our group, we boarded. We arrived in New York, safely and on time; even the process of getting our luggage was surprisingly fast.
