you wait

you wait
and wait and
wait. you are
in line. you
are in traffic,
you are in
and out of
love. you wait
for the egg
to hatch,
the water to
to boil,
the coffee
to brew, the
toast to brown,
the elevator to
move, you wait
for the call,
the text,
the message,
the elusive muse.
you wait. and
there is nothing
you can do.
