waiting

It's always the waiting that sucks the most.
Waiting for the phone to ring.
Waiting for the commercial to end.
Waiting tables.
Waiting for those three little words which you think will change your life but never do.
It's interminable.
Time unspooling into a tangled mass like yarn attacked by kittens.
Waiting for inspiration.
Waiting for...
waiting for...
waiting for the words to come.
The words that will make everything right,
make everyone like you,
make you rich,
make you famous,
make sense of your life.
Yes, it's the waiting that sucks.

Sigh.
