Unexpected

A friend was flying.
The man in the next seat reclined,
Fell asleep.

When it was time to land,
The flight attendant put hand on shoulder.
That man would never wake.

I think of the logistics involved.
If a man died sitting next to you,
So quietly you didn’t notice his passing,

Do you simply gather your belongings
And go to your connecting flight?
What else could you do?

This world is so entirely unexpected.
