Crowded this
room,
each person
hunched in
a separate
chair,
waiting.
My shocked
expression
as I view
the milieu,
is greeted by
a few sympathetic
and knowing
ones.
Those who
happen
to look up,
acknowledge
the dread
of the long
drawn out
wait.
A collective
sigh falls,
a murmur, wry
smile, a shrug
and a laugh.
I sit, hunker
down, sink
into this
in-between
space.
This waiting
place -
this waiting
room.
