the overhead announcements
are blaring through the speakers
i sit in the train station
alone
waiting
the el map in my hand
a wrinkled mess
just like me
this should have been resolved yesterday
when you invited me to sit with you and talk
we did and it was refreshing
just to see your face
at first
i could not get my footing
but i climbed
over the walls i set up
joined you on the other side
immediately
a weight was lifted off my shoulders
we laid our cards out on the table
i was ready to make my move
you needed more time
fear and trepidation
littered across your face
patience
i gave you a day
...
you need one more
...
and another
...
patience
should i wait for the inevitable
that last minute phone call
before you ride away to the midwest
that
strained
voice
on the line
