stood out

"impatience"

waiting
foot taps its thousandth
beat to the spewing buds
in less than common
time

waiting
for a word
(any)
word from her
letters draw out
draw
out
when imagined

neurons tire of firing
these impatient thoughts
they stretch and yawn
for minutes as time
drags them out
drags them
out
drags
them out

as album closes
head hangs
at the loss of hours
and what the hours lost
