moments and non moments
non moments
roll to a stop behind 20 other cars
waiting for the flagman to let you proceed
lean your head on your hand
fuming about construction zones
power outages doctors’ waiting rooms
where overhead clocks tick to show you
your appointment was 15 minutes
25 minutes 40 minutes ago
objecting your life away
dreaming of being somewhere else
mumbling get on with it
fidgeting fingers tapping foot
get on with what when you roll to a halt
