'What about your carbon footprint?
What about the price?
What about the airport wait?
What about the ice?
What about the luggage loss?
What about your fears?
What about the cattle class?
What about your ears?

'Don't put me off with trivia!
Don't try to change my mind!
I need to make the journey now
And leave this life behind.
I need to feel the fresh winds.
I need to tread new shores.
I must become someone quite new
Break claustrophobic doors.'
