heal click clack.
Languages I know
languages I don't.
People coming and going.
Delayed flights
Twenty minutes
Three hours.
Currency exchange
Quick mathematics in my head,
how much IS a dollar worth?
Colorful patterns,
babies snuggled in layers of pattern
wait for a flight to Lagos.
The smooth relaxing Dutch voice,
"Would passenger Williams
please report to gate E27.
You are delaying the flight.
Your luggage will be off-loaded."
Orange clogs, windmills,
tulips, real and foam,
Speculaas cookies and cheese
greet us at Duty Free.
The place I'm going
The places I've gone
The places I want to go
The places I've never heard of.
