first timers       businessmen    missionaries
waiting for     adventures        three hours of boredom           going
home
the room
fills up slowly
passengers
gather
killing time
looking out the windows   planes on the runway
beyond the planes
and their tenders
the jungle
flourishes 
surrounding     the  concrete  and   the   asphalt
an authentic
 war is taking place
the airport
hacking          machetes swinging cutting back  
in the night  vines 
creeping back        giant palms
inching closer
the jungle
will win in the end             it is only
taking back
vines will
eat the runway   
trees will
crush the concrete
the birds
will come back first
excited            like
first time flyers    
they are
already gathering       in the  bushes
