I felt compelled to explain
This was as good as it would get

Between the sharp hand jestures
and the loosely held cigarette
I could see that nothing said
during this evening would be
remembered

Vacant parking spaces and filled glasses
the nightwatchman's appointed round
came and went

Eighteen hours and 16,000 miles later
the event was slept off like so many others

All of the inhabitants in room 138 of
the Springfield Holiday Inn felt *exactly*
the same way at exactly the same time
The combined apathy generated a huge
magnetic pulse which sent the control
tower computers into a destructive loop
sending errant instructions to the pilot
of UAL 221 midnight express to Tulsa

14 years later the rumor persists
unseasonably cold weather iced the wings
but you and I know better
