Silently
I wait
Impatient with expectation
Life’s workings
Never wrapped up
In neat quotes
Well researched citations
An argument expressed
In twenty thousand words or less
Instead
We fumble and rumble
Getting lost in meanings
Living
Is not neatly packaged
At the editor’s console
Watching
Reality tv
Impatiently
I wait
Silenced in expectation
Life’s workings
Always unpredictable
Like the wind chimes on the porch
The slightest breeze elicits reaction
Instead
I want to have traction
Someplace to be
Living
Is not neatly ordered
Like a takeout meal
Waiting
Hunger’s quick fix
