Hmmm. Sounds like how I felt when my thyroid went haywire. With an overdose of T-4 revving my nerves up, any sort of crowd had me wanting to bolt for the open air....

i don't think there is anything much impressive about the
sight of me on a plane. a rather sorry spectacle all in all.
'specially if someone is trying to reason with me and explain
the plane is not going to fall. unhuh. you'd get a better
response from a ferret than me at that moment.

studyed aerodynamics as a youngster and they gave me all those good
scientific reasons why planes fly through the air and get
from one place to the next. i don't care. isn't a thing
in the world could convince me when i'm on that plane that
it ain't about to fall down. and i look around at all the
placid, happy people eatin' peanuts and chattin' like they
aren't about to fall a bunch of thousands of feet to the
ground. taht's very confusing. i think - you poor fools
you just don't know.

but then we arrive at our destination and we haven't fallen
and they were right and i was wrong. and i'm exhausted and
feeling just a little silly. but i'm used to taht.
