© 2012 RC deWinter ~ All Rights Reserved _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Thoughts While Waiting _____________________________________________________________________________________________ I should be in Santa Fe, not here on this sidewalk two blocks off the river waiting for someone I don't know and probably don't want to. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ I should be in Half Moon Bay, not here in this stifling air thick enough to choke on waiting for a suit and tie enslaved to paid-up premiums. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ I should be – oh, far away! Not here at this tarted-up café waiting for a miracle to fall upon my forehead. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ But should is SHOULD and is is IS and that's the plate life's served me. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ I'll garnish it with fragrant herbs, a slice of real and freshest fruits in season. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Devour it with delight I shall. The shoulds – those sour scrapings – can be tossed where they belong: out onto the compost heap of learning. ~ © 1999, renewed 2012 Regina Coeli deWinter
