An Arrival of an Important Guest


AN ARRIVAL OF AN IMPORTANT GUEST 

Anticipation of almost there, 
Wet hands grasping handles 
And fogged windows. 
The vessel silently cutting through solid air. 
You are numb and forty 
With the expression of a farm face. 
You keep hearing heels clicking 
From a distant race. 
Why such wear on your fragile system 
Leaves you breathless without 
Conclusion. 
Face so close to equal face, 
And stares mistaken for glares. 
But all in all, 
I think you found the place.
