A poem for when you're bored on a flight

If you're nervous about flying, there's nothing like getting swept away with something absorbing, frivolous and irreverent.

Today I read the poem Delta Flight 659 by Denise Duhamel. 

​It's addressed to Sean Penn, and from her collection, Ka-Ching! (2009).

REFLECT/CREATE: Write a journal entry addressed to a celebrity of your choice, in any form you choose. What would you share or confide or critique?

MORE THOUGHT FUEL:
Here are some of Denise Duhamel's other works:
Kinky (1997)
​
(Co-edited with Nick Carbo in 2002) Sweet Jesus: Poems About the Ultimate Icon

...and some collaborative works:
Exquisite Politics (1997)
Oyl (2000)
Little Novels (2002)
Saints of Hysteria: A Half Century of Collaborative American Poetry (2007)

    Why?

    “Don’t bend; don’t water it down; don’t try to make it logical; don’t edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly.”
    — Franz Kafka
