you sit in a chair

you sit in a chair
and wait
for tomorrow to begin.

the room is cold.
the walls are as white as

a wedding dress
without the promise.

you remember childhood.

and then
when it wasn't childhood.

what comes next
reminds you of the blank
page

in the back of a book.
you sit in the chair and listen

to nothing.
not even your heart
is loud enough
to fill your ears.

you are waiting.
it seems you have been waiting
for a long
time.

for what you aren't sure of,
but it feels
close.

it feels near.
you wait some more.

you sit in a chair.
