to sit & wait
to walk & wait
to watch & wait
as rain & lightning play
across the tarmac
a great divide
a kind of traffic jam
packed on the video screen
one red delayed
piles up
upon another
jaundiced travelers agree
the waiting game
s a bust

Poetry always was, and always
should be, pre-eminently that:
significant sound.
