#514 beware the nailclippers

the clip-clop of heels echo off the ceiling high above the sterile hallway
you can spot the expert travellers, men in suits with minimalist luggage
at the gates, newlyweds sit side by side in silence, each zoned in on their own handheld device
PA voices abound, the atmosphere oscillates between frantic-busy and subtly-tense
as overpriced drinks compete for your attention

stories hide behind travellers' faces
departing, reuniting
family, business
routine, nervous

for a place with so much of humanity, this place sure does lack humanity
