BLACK PLASTIC CHAIRS

Black plastic chairs, hold travellers who wilfully place their fate

in the hands of uniforms conducting

a symphony with beeping batons

Black plastic chairs, sag with collective joy

of carry on luggage 

lifted from the conveyor belt of nakedness

manned by a poker faced policeman

Black plastic chairs, bears correspondence

between scraps from discarded wraps

and convoluted alimentary canals

dropped by avian marksmen

Black plastic chairs, unmoved by the splashes

of spilled coffee 

and spats between jilted lovers

The uneasiness of contraband smugglers

Black plastic chairs, witnesses to boarding cards found in the nick of time

forgotten by absent minded dreamers

lost in their world of creative rhyme

Black plastic chairs, the silent array of clones

made from the same industrial mould

born to carry transitory burden

in thankless perpetuity
