This Is Where It Gets TrickyTo Jonathan Penton's previous piece     There Were Almost TearsTo Jonathan Penton's next piece


Waiting
always gets easier
with time

One develops a rhythm
to it
Or does it develop a rhythm
to you?

Whatever

It gets easier
like getting older
and waiting longer
before
someone asks you
for a dance

Or waiting by the mailbox
for months
instead of days
for that rejection slip
that tells you

"No one
really wants
to read
this shit."
