One Thing In Common

Weary travelers weave through silent Passageways like cattle herded to market Masked faces, eyes shifting anxiously, Everyone wanting to be somewhere else. written June 8, 2021

Cattle. Chattle. Travelers. Same oh same oh.

Right again, Caren. Traveling nowadays is a gigantic pain in the butt...in more ways than one!

Thank God for that! I still remember it taking three-days and five airplanes to fly from Prestwik, Scotland, to Trenton, New Jersey during which my fingers froze to the cigarette lighter in my pocket.......

Yeah, flying isn't what it used to be, you know. Penning little verses is a good way to make the time go by faster.

I think that is what it feels like now at any airport. The eyes shifting with anxiety but yet the need to show compassion for fellow man who want to be elsewhere.

Two hour delay going out, made for four hours waiting. Wrote about the vending machines. Waiting to board in Orlando, I wrote this. Thanks, G.W. for reading my drivel and not calling me out on it! A true friend....
