Candidly, I began reading this rather irascibly, and wondering what was the point of the line-breaks, and why not just write out a simple paragragh. I thought figures of speech in earlier versions were overblown: airports don' walk about. However, having read it several times in all its incarnations (cliche), I find it has a quiet, sad, tone which I rather like. Arrivals and Departures must all the time be a place of much joy, and much hand-wringing!
