I sit
In the royal blue vinyl chair
Waiting for the plane to board.
I stare out the window, through the crowd, at the large metal bird, majestic, glistening in the sunlight
A woman walks by in her polyester suit, pocketbook in hand, looking sad...
An older man sitting across from me, alone, looking disheveled, briefcase in hand, mind distracted
A young couple trying to keep their two young children quiet, so not to be seen
A teenager plugged into a cell phone, a disengaged look on his face
The silence becomes louder... and louder
One thing in common.
We are all here, going to the same destination... some will continue on...
together... but alone
Am I invisible...
Does anyone see me?
