A Poem, Doing

Doing

Reading E.P. Thomspon's
The Making of the English Working Class,
Sitting in the
Standard Life financial planning headquarters,
Waiting to teach English
to an Egyptian fifty year old,
Planning a coffee date
with a friend who won't show up,
Stressing about an obnoxious
argument with another,
Hoping for
something to say,
Praying for
direction,
Missing
clarity,
Living.
