Even though I've flown hundreds of times, every time I do, it still puts the spook in me. Xanax helps during the flight itself, but I still have a week-long run-up of anxiety and darkness, whenever I have to fly. But then I like to fly, because it takes me places I want to be.
The trouble with flying
By Jack Brummet
The trouble begins,
and often ends,
When you make an unplanned transition
From an initial flying state
To a subsequent not flying state.
Falling per se is OK;
The hitch comes
When falling becomes not falling,
Or, what the pros call
The uncontrolled landing problem.
