FLYING TO BUFFALO ~ Diane Funston

Never would do it if I overthought it 
Boarding planes from California to Buffalo NY 
in February
but she told me I should come
celebrate a 40th anniversary 
stay with her,
a friend the same age
as my oldest son
but much more fun and loving
So I’ll board the beast in Sacramento 
a 5am flight 
overnight in a hotel with my husband 
the night before 
to shuttle off
to Buffalo
leave my 70 degree weather 
for snow and freezing rain 
because she asked me
because 

I must be crazy
