It was deflating and enraging.
Deflating the position clearly decided upon
deflating not to be given valid chance
deflating to have gone to the effort
deflating to recognise the call –
exchange of eye contact –
a decent interval of time has elapsed – terminate
and enraging,
the charade had the finesse of two six-year-olds making pancakes

Most of my life has been spent on the bench, occasionally called into the game by extravagance or attenuation. Waiting has turned a loner into a recorder - nondescript and inconsequential, more not noticed than overlooked - the non-vantage point of children not yet considered old enough to understand. Orphaned Islands (Un)poetry is a lifetime of picking anecdotes up and not throwing them away. Stories collected like odds and ends placed in a box in the basement, the garage, the garden shed - uncertain as to what their use might be but knowing that one day there might be one.
