Predictable and simple
Boring and inevitable
Waiting
Cursed awful waiting
But that’s pointless cursing
And the waiting remains awful
Certainty is always better
No matter how grim it is
Bad certainties beat hollow hopes
Take my mind away to somewhere better
Please give me distractions
Common-or-garden distractions
It occurs to me
Common-or-garden is a phrase that jars
With our poky-flat / shared-house-lives
Savour that distraction
Even if it was only fleeting
Waiting’s back and nagging loudly
And the waiting is awful
I mean
Properly awful
