Airport Lounge Tab

by Weakerthans


                                     
slouch down in my puke-orange chair and sigh
                                     
the air is full of nerves and human cells
                                     
beside me sits some awkward girl who I
                                     
fell half in love with in the airport lounge
                  
captain says no smoking if we 
               
crash try not to die
                         
flying some preposterous 
              
amount of meters high
                  
the lavatory has smoke alarms and 
              
lukewarm water and i can see the 
                
clouds outside stretched out to nowhere
              
ribbed and textured easily

and so on:

so aimless for so long i think i might have lost my way
its far too late to talk about tomorrow
these are things i feel, and things i think, and try to say
still waiting for the morning, i'm still waiting for today
