POEM - Delays

It was hard not to run up to the podium
Jump on the offer
Change my flight
Get shuttled to another airport
Pocket the $500 voucher
And see where it all got me
But I know it would end badly
I would miss the connection
And a connection to Qatar
Is a connection you don't miss

So I sit
As they beg over the PA
"Just a few more"
"It's a great deal"
"We have another flight ready in CLT"

No
Sorry
I'll just sit here
Awkwardly stubborn
Longing to give in
