Wait; You’ll See
Nothing ever happens
only here and only now;
waiting is inevitable.
Waiting’s measurements vary:
“An historic moment” might be
a decades-long death fest
or maybe it’s just the nanosecond
it takes for a misfired bullet
to explode in innocent flesh.
But minutes spent in waiting rooms
are all the same duration:
Interminable.

Even if it’s only time spent there for a routine check up, the time seems to crawl unless you’ve got a good book in hand. And if its for anything more serious, books sometimes aren’t much help.
Clever, and too true!
Gosh, yes.
I agree wholeheartedly….and waiting in a treatment room is sheer torture for me. I don’t know how anyone tolerates solitary confinement!!
That ending stanza is right on point. When we are waiting for life or death, the waiting seems to last forever. And it leaves a soul exhausted, too.
Waiting comes in so many forms. Few of them are pleasant. Some are downright deadly.
too many damnable waiting rooms for me in 19 and 20. fewer this year so far. but yah. all were the same duration: forever.
Waxing Philosophical …. love it.
Mind you waiting rooms are normally safer than confronting a weapon holder.
As a child the wait for Christmas or summer vacation was endless, now time speeds by and we have no time to prepare.
So very true…
