Waiting


Waiting

In an hour or so a medical check up.
Then we’ll be driving over to Lleida,
stopping for lunch somewhere on the way this time,
kind of a novelty as we usually find it waiting for us.
But with the late start and all. And then
it’s not a difference I dislike—so many times
after all some of our best moments have come on quiet roads, just the two of us, on the way to destinations previously arranged or come on by chance. A chance arrangement, a road moment that leads to more, not aways pleasantly of course,
yet the first urge is to remember bread and cheese and wine
on the side of a small road,
fearful heat perhaps,
but also the strange fun of each other surprised at the ordinary discovery of strong coffee at a roadside inn just there.
