Transfers

When needing a transfer, by ferry or plane And time's the determining factor, It's hard to stay calm 'cause a place in your brain Sparks some stress like an A-bomb reactor. The panic sets in that you will not connect So you race at a speed that looks frantic And when it turns out that you weren't correct, The relief that you feel is gigantic. Still, it takes quite a while for your heart to slow down And regain the composure you've squandered. Perhaps your next journey to some distant town Will be solely to where your mind's wandered.

You have described what we see in many airports as people with grim faces, rolling suitcases, five satchels and six children run toward a terminal.
