Evolution of love

Airport lounge

People sitting, standing akimbo,
cross-legged, folded arms, like stiff-upper-lip bimbos
in their ties, in their knots
Children tied to strollers
Laps only for laptops
Men clinging to mobiles
Unruffled clothing, bodies loathing
an overstatement of profiles
A man clears his influenz(ti)al nose
A woman wears obesity as brand
Amidst a gargantuan of hoardings,
Brands flaunt their men.
Walls have faces, larger than life
and faces …like walls
Each one carries, a spear of silence
dug in by the side, pride, pride and pride
no one speaks to the other
A cavernous calm !
The air non expectant as menopause
The mood is still born, like a lost cause
Silence broken by cacophonic announcement
The dead queue up in a hasty predicament
In this theatre of the arrived
who know already what to expect…
where to depart
They leave, more snooty silence…. More dead follow
