Airplane Senses

When my plane touched down on the ground
Everything inside of me tingled
I tasted
The peppermint gum in my mouth 
And stuffy, gross, airplane air.
I smelled
Perfect hot static humid air
And my bags
Which were packed and filled to the brim with beach clothes.
I heard
Everyone around me murmuring to each other 
We had landed.
I saw 
The gray seat in front of me but what I really saw was
Memories
And 
Hope for the future.
And I felt like everything inside of me just burst with happiness.
I thought,
This is it.
Countdown until paradise?
Zero.
