Doctor's office blues

Abeyance of precious time

Limbo's discontent

 

Crowded waiting room

Wave of nervousness infused

Shopworn magazines

 

Ailments abound

Life-scarred bodies seek reprieve

Who's Next guessing game

"Limbo's discontent"
now that says it wonderfully,
that miserable wait, almost
a sense of being trapped..for me,
the most dreaded words in any office
or govt establishment are 'take a seat'
i just know sentence has been passed
and i'm about to serve time.

Good one, Carolyn.
