WAITING...IS LIFE ALWAYS...A WINDOW?


"Oh woe, oh woe, oh woe!"

"Alas, alas, and arrgggh..."

They said
     as you age, life will
become easier, ah a 
     mere piece 
of cake...

They didn't say:
     It will be an ever-
waiting game, a window...

Now I feel that I've
     become nothing but 
a vast enabler, helping people
      make a living and 
feather their nests, at their
     convenience
on my time, while I wait

(I know, I do need help often.)

For you see, it seems like
     we're always in some 
window.......just waiting.......
      and translated that means
"We'll try to help you 
       at your house if it works
out okay for us, if we get time..."

To wit:
     Rotor-Unstoppers---9-11 a.m.
          Comcheck....1-3 p.m.
      Carpet-Kleen... 1-5 p.m.
          "We-Plum-Pipes"...10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
       "Debris IS US" pickup...Tuesday's, 8 a.m. 
            AAA...45 minutes (okay)
        Pizza Hut... 45 minutes (okay)
       M.D. visit...40 minutes to 90, the worst

So it wasn't planned this way
     that we sit looking out 
the window, many days
     but that's the way 
it turned out...

but then things could 
    be worse
and after all 

Isn't all of life sort of
     a window
anyway?
