The Passenger Next Seat (draft)

Truitt Doors is tripping to New York
strangers we were before
and strangers we'll remain after we deplane
a two hour flight from Hartsfield-Jackson International
He seems stressed, says on a cell
that he's missed a flight
and won't make the three o'clock meeting

Truitt, maybe to relieve himself,
fidgets with curious contraptions electronically driven
bewildering to me, a Neanderthal in disguise
