AIRPORT ZEN RONDEAU
by Ann E. Michael
In waiting rooms, in halls and aisles
despite the moving stairs, I’m still.
Airplanes take off and land before the hill
to shuttle passengers with frowns, meet smiles
at certain gates. None waits for me while
I dwell on turbulence, with time to kill
in waiting rooms.
The crowd gets individual, through stiles,
then melds again into its teeming mill.
Amid the luggage and the rush, I’m still
for I’ve spent many hours and endless miles
in waiting rooms.
