So sick and tired
of these mind games.
Have you checked your email?
Has that subject heading,
“You’re accepted,”
appeared in your inbox?
Has that SMS,
“U R gr8”
got through to your mobile yet?
Has the phone rung
with caller ID of,
“I want to talk to you”
yet?
Are you up to date?
Is your connection up to speed?
Is there room
for what you’re waiting for?
Waiting. Watching.
Concerned. Disconcerted.
Not enjoying what exists,
only agonising over what could be.
Losing perspective. Losing days.
Unhealthy.
Digging, searching.
But the further down, the less you can see.
