1. Car Inspection Waiting Room



We all sit and wait,
the Christmas music unnoticed.
The woman in black is on hold
trying to get insulin for her sister.
The big woman in a bright pink scarf
dozes off and on, frowning all the while. 
A tall man holding a clipboard approaches,
he tells me i need a new axle and more. 
We all continue doing what we are doing
on our smart phones. 
The tall man returns
and gives the bad news to a woman in tight clothing. 
No one notices but me.
