Waiting is what happenswhen you tick every box on the list
but the ones outside the page;when mixing flour and water is chore
and dough takes a while to bake;the dream car on a wrong turn,
you carry on with the chase;a table full of feast and cheers
it disappears like a sick child's appetite;Waiting arrives as soon as you catch light,
and instead of star, hold stone in your hand.—Razel Estrella
