Terminal exit

Lorenz

'' Passengers ont flight 666 to paradise 

are asked to proceed to the exit ".

  ------------------------------

I'm waiting at the ill luck terminal .

 Coffin airways  tourist .

A soft voice coming out of nowhere 

invites the combustible lives  to heaven.

 Sometimes fate seems to hesitate .

Or to be a little distracted .

 It pops into your mind :

'' Dating for  tomorrow  ! ''

or : '' Welcome to a trip to nowhere ! ''

 The beautiful smiling hostess 

knows the afterlife plan .

'' It's too late now to find our way out the fog! ''

 The voice announces .

It  would be nice to get some sleep 

and try to dream .

  To let oneself be carried away 

on the arms of the graceful  hostess .

 The most beautiful love is always the one 

from the last hour ...

  ''  Lads and lolitas we'll be ahead of the time change ! ''

        The voice announces .

Passengers in a hurry never think to read 

the prayers handbook ! 

  I've been wandering around this terminal 

for quite a while now  and that damn zinc

 still hasn't arrive ! 

  Or who knows ,maybe it never left ?

Why the hell ,wont't that Panam flight 

let the K.L.M  through ?

As if New york were becoming New Amsterdam again....

 Evil spirits never take instructions 

for the after life seriously ...

 '' Please shut up and prepare your souls ! ''

 The voice announces .

  - '' Mom when are we going to get home ? '' 

    Elvis is dead  .

The hotel California opened its doors .

  at the end of the voyage ,

star wars  is your new  hope ! 

  After that I don't know  .

But i'm still here and my cup of coffee

has gone cold ...

  Terminal exit .

( Teneriffe airport .March 27/1977 )

    It feels as though the person in this poem is an eternal transit passenger, whose flight to paradise (666) is constantly delayed, forcing them to endlessly pace the cold tiles of oblivion.

    • Lorenz

      Excellent intuition.So many lost souls wander around air terminals ...

      I have had this flight canceled and delayed many times and I think they lost my luggage. When I arrive the immigration is run by flames (Furious leftist anarchists mobilizing extreme satanism) Then melted the ICE and left only drips behind.

      • Lorenz

        We all carry
        the memory
        of a lost luggage

      • Sealgair

        The idea of eternity beginning in an airport terminal feels strangely right, a place where time stretches, destinies cross, and no one is entirely sure when their flight will be called.

        Beautifully unsettling!

          We are all passengers on a flight whose destination we do not know...
