brown leather and the sound of trolleys
on the stone floor
where you come from and where
you go - it doesn't matter - really, you're
a name in an endless stream with a
fitting number,
hitting the keys, observing
the blonde with the heels, the long
haired guy, they're in love - he touches
her in places - right and thinks that
no one sees, i do, but i'm invisible behind a
screen, belonging to another world,
another life, time-less, i'm bored,
prepared, i'm sherlock holmes,
the guy from the reception smiles. is
everything - ok - of course, there's music
from afar, my feet tap "hotel
california" heaven, hell and all that's
in between, the guitar makes me sigh 'cos
there's always a flight to be on and
always a flight to miss, yeah
he looks - american - he is, checks
in and out and disappears like he has never
lived and my notebook is warm
on my thighs
yeah - i'm on a business trip and probably need some time for the commenting back...see you..

so just what was this couple doing in the middle of the airport...wow...bold...or maybe my mind is in the gutter...or i just need to fly more...nice capture of the zoo of an airport waiting area...
I could see it all in my mind's eye, thanks to your descriptive poem.
felt like I was right there with you. sounds like a beginning to an interesting story. I'll be waiting to read more if you care to continue?
take care!
I could visualize a story in the airport clearly..well written
I really like those last four lines!
love to watch the world go by
About a year ago, I was trapped in the Vegas airport on standby after missing my flight home for almost 3 days. The overwhelming onslaught of humanity coming and going almost drove me mad. nice poem claudia
...ja, die stimmung hast du perfekt eingefangen, Claudia...dieses internationale fluidum in versen...das gefällt mir, danke!
I find this immediately recognisable. Very nice
to me observing people ..their little unseen gestures the language of unspoken things holds the greatest fascination...beautifully put together claudia...
very cool.
