26 Minutes To Go

Out the window a gray gradient forms
Out the window a black cloud storms

In the room a light shines
In the corner a rat dines
In the street a child whines
Below the couch my shoes remain
Across the world a falling rain
In my heart a solemn pain 

Minutes 
to 
go

Roland, waiting is well recorded in this poem, the ordinary and extraordinary weight (Upon U & us all). While U may be hurting, I loved the fact you devote one line to "pain" ... in your "heart." Life goes on, and U shall overcome & move ON.
