In Atlanta Airport

While taking a stop-over
my timepiece ticks . . .
meant to stand up already 
to enable my entry to the aircraft.

  It seems passengers abound
  with their carry-on bags
  Men and women alike
  in a hurry to get inside.

Other gates seem busy too
calling passengers to board.
Some have problems to resolve
to get a seat and be part of the group.

  The weather holds no promise at all
  that those aircrafts can fly soon.
  Rains and thunderstorms
  threaten all kinds of transportation.

One, two, three . . . counting the time of waiting
no certainty as yet.
While everyone shows restlessness,
conversation via mobile phone takes place.

  Some seem quiet and unperturbed
  Some read, eat and chat with others.
  It's a real experience, another episode
  that describes procrastination
  of any flight scheduled to take off.
