AS WE WERE WAITING
This man was questioning gerunds -
what they were and how they meant.
Asking, he went on...'Catholic school...
couldn't pay attention...don't know the
rules...just go on.' Settling for a seeming
nothing, I replied in kind - something about
the mob of words, forcing declensions,
listening to voices. It did seem settled then;
awash in words as we were waiting.
