What do you do when you must sit and wait?
Is it boring? and do you look about?
I see it as an opening, a gate
through which I go and choose a carefree route
to imagined or remembered places,
or to events in offing--to prepare.
I never see exactly, or faces,
just vaguely images and thoughts quite spare.
But I believe I'm truly there, not here,
and occupy as much or little time
as I am allowed until it is clear
I must break off and leave what is sublime.
But I prefer my non-waits also zoom,
to freely soar to heights beyond this room.
