layover passengers
make good company
a break between flights
have coffee, chit-chat
size up your mile high choices
you hear interesting stories
and less interesting stories
a new story forms
with each new face
its when the faces
become familiar where
you start to rethink
your flight pattern
different places, different times
same face
wondering if he is on
the same plane
if you were meant to meet
at this airport just
outside detroit
if you should trade in
your ticket to fly with him
to destination unknown
or if you should
just enjoy his company
board your flight
and hope
he trades his in
