there is intermittent chatter and answers
of calls and questions and some banter
there are waves of warmth and then cold drafts
the air condition villian blows dust in my face and laughs
i resist the temptation to sneeze
squeeze my eyes shut tight and then go to work on my knees
the pain remains while i massage away
more to follow at night rather than during the day
the seconds and minutes grow
the hours snap back at me, "i know, i know!"
i look to my left to check on the 'crisis caller champ'
then to the window only to see that it is cloudy and damp
i take a sip of my soda and with a sleepy sigh i wait
take another call, think about tonight's plans and on how not to be late...
s.m.
