KELLY COWAN

 

 

Hartsfield Airport

 

I.

 

the adrenaline rush

runs into the wall

––delay

 

 

II.

 

waiting to board

military officer

tall & lean

spit polished shoes

& a band of metals

cups his hat

in his forearm

holds tightly

in his hand

peanut M&M’s

 

 

III.

 

broken seat

in the first row––

empty

man in 2B announces

it is dedicated

to the “Dead Captain”

man in 2A

briefcase on his lap

picks his nose

the road warriors
