wasuremono
March 11, 2017
I wait
others rush
catching a train, hailing a taxi
hurrying home, scurrying fast to a dinner date, running to their lover
but I wait
you said you would be here-- I check my watch-- forty-five minutes ago
now forty-six
everyone is rushing to and fro
grabbing their umbrellas, clutching their handbags, holding tight to their lover's hand
but my hands are not held by anything
nor do my hands hold anything
I am unheld and unholding
waiting
waiting
everyone has somewhere to go, something to hold, someone to be with
but I am nothing more than a forgotton thing
