The Wait
We all have a feeling we can't get rid of - the feeling that we're missing out on something that might be happening.
I get up
just in case
something might happen.
Coffee.
Couple of eggs.
I turn on the TV
and watch the news
just in case
something is happening.
Out the door
for a walk.
The day is beautiful.
I stop for a beer.
You never know
something might be happening.
Back home.
Late lunch.
A sandwich
a glass of milk
then coffee in
the living room
waiting for
something to happen.
I wander to
my desk
and check the internet
just in case
something has happened.
Pen. Paper.
I sit looking at
the blank page
hoping
something might happen.
Dinner.
Spaghetti with anchovies.
I eat while
scanning the TV channels
looking for something
that is happening.
Night.
Bed. Sleep.
I pull the covers
up over me
and begin to dream
just in case
something might
be happening there.
I love this.
So damn original.
And funny.
A delight!
