A bit after noon, a late start…tap, tap, tap, goes the bejeweled flat as the wait for the elevator becomes what is keeping the day from continuing. Legs that seem long in dark jeans brush against each other as they move swiftly down the sidewalk in an effort to cross the street before the light changes.
Swish, swish, swish, “ahh” the light didn’t win this time… and the legs continue, people are moving swiftly by, and it’s hard to tell which are going faster.
The door is in sight, a smile beams bright on raspberry colored lips, try to touch everyone with their light. Hoping that in their sight some others day might be bright.
The door spins in a never-ending rotation and the waiting continues, it is so late, a hope that one is not late.
Another elevator, another wait… the door opens…beep, security is breached! And one goes on, ‘round the corner and down the hall. Faces are passed, a friend is addressed, flashes of color jump out in lime greens, bright orange, and cardboard brown.
A laugh and a smile, with the rising of a body, a movement so quick thought not consulted. Slight confusion, maybe indecision…a fork in a pronged road.
Held breath is exhaled, questions are answered, and more are asked.
A moment is taken for what seems to be a friend, what kind of friend?
One may never know…so “lets go!”
stop, go, pause, slow… something has begun, but what? with who?
We go, but why?
One doesn’t know but one still goes.
walking talking, starting, stopping, running, waiting
dropping, getting…wondering…staying.
Smirking to ones-self when that is all one can do.
Standing, joining, walking, waiting, talking, moving closer…
one wonders…hmmm…
walking, waiting, joining, commenting, thanking…
Stopping, pausing- waiting, saying…parting…wondering…walking, waiting
One waits, and goes, walking up the steps, striding with a new purpose.
The previous quest continues and is obtained. Another one replaces, which is replaced again and again as each are completed, a wish that “we could pretend that it’s the weekend now” but other things are then considered.
An opportunity lost and another is found, a suggestion made and an attitude is questioned somewhat jokingly, or not?
A favor asked and then given, information passed along and thanks are made.
An opportunity is set. And a door is opened, excitement mounts, but is held in check. Things are gotten that must be got.
Historical references made and received, the night is cool but the body is warm.
Tomorrow waits though the work is never done, no time for anything.
Not even me, but some things just have to be.
