Completely forgot a need to remove my corona
belt from th’ daks so two airport security screen
checks failed; my mobile phone was #1 culprit,
it had me laughing, but the belt buckle proved
a greater gaffe; security didn’t cop my theory
of hearing aids as cause, yet 'raised' her voice
allowing me a partial victory, not that it made
me any more secure, because without a belt
My trousers declined to stay at waist level, so
we’d evened score at least; but irony seemed
to imply my reasoning collided dramatically in
an innocent non-sequitur of hearing aids - as
if a corona blooper provided enough leeway
for an ever greater hit-and-miss speculation
