pearland municipal court
all there is to do is think while in line waiting.
my ears perk to heated conversations.
making it hard to concentrate on my own
reasons for waiting.
although we are all here for different reasons
nothing good is at the end of our wait.
not even the infant who’d baked in her teen
mother’s car is excited to wait.
how many more occasions will find me
standing on this same marble floor waiting?
how many before i learn this building is
never worth the wait?
