At the airport

Rotten luck
Follows me around.

The other day,
At the airport waiting lounge,
While trying to drown
My impatience,
In deafening,
Mp3 versions
Of my favourite music,
An announcement of a flight,
To your city,
Surreptitiously slipped in,
Between two songs,
Robbing me off the simple pleasure,
Of knowing,
That I'd be home soon.
