airport philosophy

DateTuesday, January 18, 2011 at 10:59AM

the problem lies

in thinking things should be

other than they are

 

fact is, airport carpet is grey

the flight is delayed

and we are here for 5 hours

 

wishing it weren't so

just makes each minute

tick by a little slower

 

the flight, when it comes

is its usual miracle

we don't fall out of the sky

 

we are humans

and we are flying
