In Atlanta airport

While taking a stop-over

my timepiece ticks . . .

meant to stand up already

to enable my entry to the aircraft.

It seems passengers abound

with their carry-on bags

Men and women alike

in a hurry to get inside.

Other gates seem busy too

calling passengers to board.

Some have problems to resolve

to get a seat and be part of the group.

The weather holds no promise at all

that those aircrafts can fly soon.

Rains and thunderstorms

threaten all kinds of transportation.

One, two, three . . . counting the time of waiting

no certainty as yet.

While everyone shows restlessness,

conversation via mobile phone takes place.

Some seem quiet and unperturbed

Some read, eat and chat with others.

It's a real experience, another episode

that describes procrastination

of any flight scheduled to take off.
