They sit frail with wild eyes
Guarded by their brightly colored sweaters
In a row
Waiting
To catch a plane
On two large wheels huddled
Conversing

The wheel chair brigade

I too, admire your powers of observation. And as I am a real people watcher with the perspective of one in a wheelchair, this little poem gave me a big smile.

Thank you both... I work at an airport and everyday there are 20 wheelchairs filled with little old women yaking and getting excited about the trip they are about to take...
