WAITING
A solo Alphenga by Gerald England
Hyde, Cheshire, UK
27 January 1998
always the long wait
to see the doctor
at the eye clinic
blue flowers in a vase
starting to wilt
caught short
the little girl squirms
her mother looks cross
dreading the needle
middle-aged man shivers
early morning
terrier barks furiously
at approaching milkman
fog-bound passengers
phoning their loved ones
gulls wheel
behind the cruise liner
expecting scraps
holy mountain
hell for climbers
in the gallery
next to the nude
a portrait of mary
january sales
city traffic gridlocks
kicking the habit
ex-smoker spits out
chewed up pencil ends
licking his lips
at the bride's first meal
master cueman
escapes the snooker
and pots another red
neon lights flashing
above the bordello
only one customer
enters the doors
the pub with no beer
preparing for her night's work
the stripper gets all dressed up
querying the bill
angry diner swallows
the torn-up pieces
resolving the argument
in adjacent beds
stuck in the quicksand
tractors and ladders
work against the tide
tempted by salesman's offer
her nest egg cracked open
under lock and key
his collection
of used underwear
vacuuming the carpet
her latest fetish
winter storms forecast
they struggle with tarpaulins
to cover the boat
xeroxing the plans
for the christmas party
yellow crocuses
emerge early --
frostless new year
zealously guarding
his innermost thoughts
