The Arrivals Gate
gonna go out to the arrivals gate
at the airport and site there all day
watch people reuniting.
public affection is so exciting,
it even makes airports okay.
watching children run with their arms outstretched
just to throw their grandpa's necks.
watching lovers plant kisses.
old men to their misses at the arrivals gate.
watching a mother with a mother's smile.
don't tell me to move.
i just wanna sit here for a while.
i have determined it's a sure cure for cancer.
watching excitement turn family dogs into dancers
at the arrivals gate.
i got me a white bread sandwich with some shredded lettuce.
and i got me a ringside seat for my quaint little fetish.
i just wanna drain my little pink heart of all its malice
and kick back for the afternoon in this fluorescent palace.
everybody's in a hurry here in purgatory except for me.
i'm where i need to be at the arrivals gate.
