What did we do while waiting
Time once spent ruminating
Now cell phones are dictating

**********************************
Eyes lowered, sneakers tapping, chairs creaking
Speaking is not what we do
Waiting to be called by you

I will risk a shrunken face
Just to get out of the place
Like the movie Beetlejuice
To vamoose to a new space.

This large number I have found
Now has me waiting around
Until the magical sound
Of my name fills the compound

Proximity to the door
Will not reduce my time here
Almost more than I can bear
My number is close I’m sure

(An Englyn Proest Dalgron Poem)
**********************************
It’s fine – don’t call my name yet
So I can get out of here
I am strangely thrilled to get
Time to finish this chapter
