Eventless

waiting for something to happen...nothing ever does.

The frames stay put
attached to the wall.
They were not cleaned,
nor did they collect dust.

When the faucet knobs were turned
the sink filled up with water.
When the knobs were turned once more
the water flow was halted.

The coffee machine brewed
three times within the hours
and will do so three more times
before nightfall.

The telephone rang,
but no one was there.
A dial tone buzzed
and the phone was hung up.

If you cared to ask,
that is the gist of how
my day has been.
how was yours?

Well....
I had school...then Thursday mass....
Then tennis practice...
and recently wrote a poem.
Slightly eventful.

Such a sad tale, but beautifully written.
