Airportals

gate b15

but I could change it if i wanted

take a flight to anywhere

I'm in the right place for that

the world at my fingertips

i could be on the other side

in just a few flights

living a whole new life

i can go anywhere

and I don't have to explain

the pain from the past

that's what i love about airports

they're full of possibility

full of humans full of possibility

everyone on there way somewhere

there's momentum

risk, patience, excitement

everyone ready to get where they're going

places they've never been

people they don't know

to do things they've never done

everyone stepping through a portal

to a version of themselves

they can only know through exploring

i feel all of it at gate b15

wondering if anyone else feels it to

a moment passes

I notice a woman so familiar

I watch her as she leans to her husband and says

"there's something special about airports"

and I'm certain in this space

past present and future exist on the same plane
