In all my years waiting has not changed
It makes no difference what I’m waiting for
A table for two or a home pregnancy test
Waiting takes no sides, never plays favorites
The second hand continues to move just like
it has ever since it was first set in motion
Digital or analog, one second is one second
In a waiting room or waiting in line
It will arrive right when it’s supposed to
Not one second sooner
And I’ve never been the same when it finally shows up.
