Your gentle yawn br while reading the sports section br as they fill your prescription. br A light scratch of your nose br as you read the review of the br newest hippest band out of L.A. br while your new tires are installed. br Waiting is the dullness of a brown sparrow br flitting to the next wire, br the line of ants on a tree trunk. br br Not so bad br if you have something inoperable br and know that boredom br is a luxury for the living. br The forgettable moments the doctor consults br with the nurse in the hallway, br the trees from outside swaying in the glass picture frame, br the shoe scuff patterns on the linoleum. br I didn’t know the cloud I floated on br until it was yanked away br and I see the dark rocky ground br speeding upwards.
