Godspeed to the Refugees

Migrants, air travel, smugglers, Syrian children, Samos, Turkey, dories, Kurds, topaz water & desperation. I have a theory on air travel. I believe most people are afraid of it. Nearly everyone, I imagine, sits at an airport gate masking a tinge of fear. As they board the plane, as they ignore the flight attendants’ instructions, as the engines’ thrust pushes their head against the seat.
