Sitting in the leather seat of the silver bird I watch the tired and lonely faces of the week long warriors stagger to their seats. The fresh faces of a journey only beggining the disappointed look of a hectic vacation ending Those of self importance walking down the aisle with the little black box glued to their ear talking of nothing at 9PM or planning rendevous with secret lovers. Those lost never having been trying desperately to find their place only to count the rows, one by one. The gray haired attendant well past his prime asking for your beverage choice hoping to hear a pleasant no thanks. Biding his time to return to his younger lover. The journey from the cold climes to my warmer zone Delayed as usual as the white stuff swirls I long for the peace the serenity of my abode only to know monday comes and I will be here again. |

Isn't people watching fun? You can write fictional stories about them - It's fascinating...  |

Enjoyed the travel memoirs, saw this scene vividly: "watch the tired and lonely faces of the week long warriors stagger to their seats." |

This one's like a vignette. A few typos, but that's not so important as what it tried to relay. It's amazing I won. I was running against peace, prosperity, & incumbency. |
