Airport Daze pt. 1

Sitting alone in a terminal full of people
Wishing to be anywhere else
I met your eyes

It was one of those glancing looks that last a lifetime
You smiled at me with such warmth it parched my soul

My returning gaze told a story you knew too well
A longing that caused the little crinkle on the bridge of your nose
You understood more of me in that moment than most ever will

Then he appeared, handing you the soft drink you asked for
The look you gave him was not as soft as the one I was award but,
it is the look he had eared over the years

That look sent me back to different place in a different time

I felt bad for you

Until I saw the entire terminal light up
She tugged on your coat yelling for a drink
Mommy, mommy…daring you to ignore her
She was beautiful and so was your glow

Now I know

Last call for boarding of flight………
I walked to my gate readying myself for the long trip home

I had to take one last look

You were watching me and I was happy to discover that
Looking passed his shoulder you mouthed to me the most awful word in the English language.
Goodbye.
You will never know how great I thought that was

My smile confused the robot at the door of the plane
She forgot to thank me for choosing their airline

Oh well, I’ll find my seat and dream of a different place in a different time…

pt 2

As the plane was about to taxi out, she approached me
Sir I am going to have to ask you to hand over your drink

Being confused by her request, I made the mistake of asking why and started a chain of events that I still can not believe today
At this point she informed me that she did not have to answer to me and it would be best if I simply gave up my drink or she would have me removed from the plane

My laughing was in no way to belittle her
I was still in a daze over my encounter in the airport she however, took as an attack on her authority (when did she get authority anyway)
she walked away

When we heard the engines shut down I knew it was not going to be my night
The gentlemen sitting next to me asked if she was kidding with this whole thing

The smirk on her face said more to us that any words she could have mustered
I told her she is little more than a waitress in a tube and that she was treating her customers pretty rudely

Being thrown to the floor of plane is not a pleasant experience and the two men made sure I knew this
These were not the kind of handcuffs I was used to either
sure the pain was there but, there was no pleasure to follow
As I was being dragged down the isle the applause was unnecessary to say the least

The poor guy next to me met the same fate
Guilt by association I supposed

I told you to give me the drink the robot said to me and in the most condescending voice you ever heard she added…
Thank you for choosing *********** airlines

Uh oh...I have competition in the story field. You go Kev. That was really good.

Whoa..wicked awesome!!

no wolf you have no competition here not from me
