United Airlines

I approached the customer service counter
completely dishevled,
both mind, body, and hair
clumped from exchange between baseball
and winter hat.
to my right Al Gore
backing into a freight elevator
to my left 100 people
in a similar mental/emotional boat
as I take my next steps
I realize that the woman about to help me
has an "in training" badge on
realizing I am only at the beginning of another journey
I smile and do my best.

disheveled \dih-SHEV-uhld\, adjective;
also dishevelled:
In loose disorder; disarranged; unkempt; as, "disheveled hair."
