mail order doesn’t take 4-6 weeks anymore
but the wait feels different
when you know how time can be stretched
.
across rainy days
just listening to the drops
through fields of lavender
in no hurry
watching the clock
when cookies are in the oven
waking to find you’re way older
than you thought you’d ever be
.
sometimes you realize you’re not waiting
but passing the time
because it’s the same as it ever was
