Room for Waiting

On time, out of time, spending time, waiting time.
Waiting need not be a waste of time.
How will I choose to use the wait?

Sitting, knitting?
Cell phone talking, restless walking?
Watching, listening to an also waiter?
Making plans for what comes later?

Flipping through magazines’ glossy ads of products I would not buy?
Reading a chosen book I brought with me to try?
Tuning out noise from the TV intended to entertain?
Can I make something happen instead of complain?

Could I, would I pray?
If the wait is too long, will I stay?

If the waiting is in a place in my life instead of a place of medical appointment, is my choice the same?
