What hour now?

Waiting is like this –
Watching the clock –
The now not being
Nearly as important
As what’s about to happen
Or not nearly as tolerable.
Sometimes knowing the time
Is a help – the reminder that
This too shall pass. And sometimes
It murders the moment,
Killing the present with the future.
