You didn’t wait around to see the words land
Eager to dispatch me
Spattering fried egg sliding off teflon
But land they did
Hot sparks from cedar
Sawdust in the eye
You didn’t wait around to see the words land
A conversation planned to fail
Cushioned by audience and ticking clock; go!
But land they did
Sour vomit to the sidewalk
Needles of rain
You didn’t wait around to see the words land
A hasty checkmark on a to-do list
Courage saved for those that matter
But land they did
Crumbs brushed off a table
Used tissues wet with snot
You didn’t wait around to see the words land
But they did
