tapping my shoe as i wait for you

we're an impatient lot
of people,
aren't we?
us with our instant
coffee,
our instant oats,
and minute rice,
our fast food lines,
the drive-thru,
and express lanes.
the EZ pass for a toll.
one hour
dry cleaning for all our clothes.
we need to be everywhere
and anywhere
in a New York
minute.
there's no time to lose.
without our phones to
stare into
while we wait for things
to happen
and for people to arrive,
what would we do?
