Ready now

Today had been waiting for
a far long long time
    It has waited before
       and again it shall wait
    If thou art here not now
       the waiting feels eternal

The eternal, however,
    beyond any
    such demarcated names
is simply ready

Ready now
Ready now
       Ready
       now
       ready

~SEVEN
       Ready for savings
       the air police will be up there waiting
       if we lend them leave

Ready now with shadow cast
by slouch’d head set in one hand

Listening to the song
of the market
       The mechanical peacefullness
       of rapidly repeated routine

       symphonic, beeping
    and babies wailing cash
drawers opening closings and nausea
