I have waited for many things
in life like the elevator to come
and the light to turn green.
I have waited at the doctor’s office
and seen my patience reduce
like the minutes of my life.
Waiting in the MRI machine was hard
but nothing in life prepared me
to wait for the ambulance –
12 minutes away.
