Waiting...

The hunger of impatience
in
the
line
at
the
super-
market
eats
me up from the inside until
I reach the point
of implosion
in the attempt to fill in the gaps in life with consumer goods;
endlessly straining towards
repletion.
Yet,
stolidly implacable, the ships composedly queue
to fill their bellies with coal,
with no useless repining or unreasonable expectations;
floating islands of peace,
unshakeable against the assaulting surge of the sea.

(Cassy)
