Jacket is slowly retrieved,
carefully put on.
Scheduled appointment time
has long since come and gone.
Waiting for an indication,
some reason for this to-do
rather than being left alone
by myself to sit and stew.
Simple words remain
unsaid.
Billowing images rise
instead.
Thoughts fly
to delirious heights;
trailing hurt and anger
ready to ignite.
No explanation given
for the unexpected delay.
Patience wears thin
with the lengthening day.
Minutes pass,
magazine pages are read.
Still no one comes out,
nothing is said.
Jacket is buttoned,
zippers zip.
Do not reschedule.
Never mind a tip!
