Terminal D

JERRY BROWNING		NAKED DREAMS

Terminal D

I think I met an angel
in Atlanta at the airport
when I rode the crazy shuttle
going the wrong direction

for some odd reason
we were alone
in the busy, noisy station
no one witnessed her
but me

she had a friendly smile
and troubled look upon her face
"I should know better," she said
with a gentle southern accent
as we decided on a track

together and across
sharing curious glances
thinking of the chances
I tried casual conversation

she said she was heading home
to Shreveport for the holiday's
looking in her eyes
I could see her family's faces

she said she was a writer
musicals and screenplays
I asked her if I knew the shows
she called them
independents
and I took her at her word

the voice upon the loudspeaker
boomed with cold authority
the doors burst open loudly
as she grabbed her bag
and walked away...
so, I went on
to terminal D
