That One Time I Wished for a Middle Seat

I can't help but gaze at seats B and C,
and I can't help but notice their owners' appeal–
In the subjective, not my favorite–to be objective, surely real,
and for once I wish away my corner–window seat–
To see both their faces as they talk across me.
I can imagine what a simple pleasure it would be
To be ignored–and even silent–but still in between.
It's the only time I ever wished to have a middle seat.
