Boston 12: 31pm Poem by Steven Adelman

Boston 12: 31pm



This house is a quiet house.
The owner, a Cuban, squatting
in the garage- seemingly waiting
to paint with his soaked brush
of colour.
Past noon now...
nothing to keep the time or my mind
occupied.
Lying on stained couch-
who knows whose been here before me.
Biting my nails & reading T.S. Eliot
I'm not stressed
just uneasy- but if I keep
nibbling on my fingertips
all my troubles'll go away
