justwrite 24 october

there will come a time
when you will wait
because you have no
other choice although
it will seem you ought to
be able to get up and run
also yell and tell them
with a capital t that you
are the capital letter here
and you need a sentence
and also end punctuation
but the question of what
and how that sentence
may develop is of concern
and it may be too long
or too troubling to maintain
or a painful reminder of
the quiet time before
when the words were unsaid
steady on the blank edge
a plastic seat a metal frame
unnamed like the fears here
sometimes unbalanced
with chance and also yes fear
the dancing which is falling
waiting for the steps to add up
in a small room with uneven
pictures and a very loud clock
