Airports
Airports are fascinating places
watching life darting by
Hurry! Hurry!
Seems to be the cattle call
Cell phones and beeping carts
Tall leggy blondes
and doddering old men
Suited businessmen
and smartly dressed women
A tall, thin Texan sits alone
The list goes on
What journeys are they making?
Where are they going?
The human drama plays on
while one keeps guessing

Comments: I love to sit in the airport between flights and watch. Sometimes I zero in on a particular person and wonder who he or she is. Since airline travel is seldom relaxing and often involves stress, you can gather a lot about an individual in just a few moments. Arrogance, reticence, joviality, you name the trait, they all appear at the airport.
