Can't Wait for the Future


Ow
it took you
20% too long
to take off my shoes
and 30% too long
to adjust my shirt
that set me back
50% in my wait for the future.

I can't wait for the future.
Now is a crisis
in passing, a ride
on an ambulance
sirens wailing.
Pain does that to ya.
Living on a noodle,
nothing to rest on
except someday.
