Istijlál (Majesty), 17 Sharaf (Honor) 176 B.E. - Thursday, January 16, 2020
PROMPT January 16th What are you waiting for? What Am I Waiting For? This afternoon, I'll be waiting for the RCT paratransit bus to take me to the appointment to see my Kidney Doctor, wait to see the doctor, and again wait for the bus to bring me back home. I'm waiting to make an appointment with my regular doctor for an issue that isn't going away and may or may not be a big problem. I can't make this appoint until after February 1 because I changed plans to a special needs plan with my health insurance company, and that kicks in on February 1. I'm also waiting until February 1 to make a dental appointment because the new (to me) plan will cover part of the cost for my dentures. Waiting Seconds Walk into view Dawdling over minutes Waddling past light curtained portals Seconds Waltz with Minutes beneath Artificial white lights Across bright floors hiding hours that waltz with Seconds Dance down the ages Forgotten by minutes Unremembered by echoing Seconds Beyond Forgotten hours Waiting outside of sight Outside of hope outside of time Beyond |
