The flight departs soon
and you are late again;
your rushing feet change
from flips flops to boots
to trainers and flip flops again.
It's winter this time
and there's always a flight to somewhere to catch;
how can you always be so late?
In the waiting halls of airports
time makes circles
a flight is delayed
the clock becomes irrelevant.
My eyes ache
and they are tired;
should I close them now
I'll miss you running in the room
your attention shifting
somewhat lost in-between the gates
always
on the edge of time
and unconcerned.
