Tick

Tick

Tick...

Time passes, I wait.

The clock moves slowly.

I wait, Voices drone on.

Time taunts me.

I wait, hopefully.

A van pulls in, half hour past.

I get in silently, watching the rain

The silence lasts the entire ride.

No questioning of the inconsistent

timing. We pull up quiety, the

streets illuminated in the dark.

I say my goodbyes and depart

from the car. The rain trickles

on. The voices continue, oblivious of

my arrival. I walk upstairs,

as if the destination was dreaded. I sit down on the bed. I try to find insight to

this confusing world, on an typical Wednesday night.
