Waiting

Waiting

Tick, tock,
     tick, tock,
the last word invented
to rhyme the word “clock”     


Time can be tricky
easily lost in the handbag of language
like when you ask someone if they have eaten
I mean, clearly
they have
they would have had to
at some point
nobody makes it for very long
without
or take for example
when you come home from work late
and I tell you
that I’ve waited for you
do you know what I mean?
