_~The stairs were a long tedious way
I opted for the elevator
The arrow blinked the door opened
I met many faces
Silence engulfed the walls
Some looking at their watches, others looking down, I had a flight to catch
What if it broke down ? I would be late,I was in a rush
My eyes peered around, most looked away, thought they were shy or just lacked what to say
Anything even hey
Sharp cologne from a well-dressed lady
A man scratching his beard
A frown from an old granny... found it weird
Maybe the lights would go off
Hold on to our pockets in case things went off
A short journey around strangers
With it safety and dangers
