Velvet Blue sky
The shining sun
Floating cloud plumes
over terminal C, gate 81
Shark fins circle
Not hungry for food
Form an orderly queue
for the stairway to heaven
Metal Birds of wonder,
Others sharks and whales
lurch forward and launch
rising, into the abyss
Giant metal kites
inscribing a grey/white line
sways with the wind
fades into a distant dot
Flying metal tube
Itinerant inside
time zones, seven seas
Passing me by
Written on the back of a newspaper at another faceless terminal at Newark Liberty Airport, November 2008
