The one on the corner.
It’s the telephone company and she’s
a long distance operator on the third floor.

I’ve parked my car across the street.
It’s in a Sears and Roebuck parking lot.
I’m waiting for her to get off work.
I’m a little early so I’m going inside the store.

There’s a back entrance.
It’s where I enter from the lot.
I can look out the back door and see the building.
She’ll be coming down the steps soon.

There’s a book section where I stand.
I can keep my eye on the building while I read.
I musn’t t miss her

I can't smoke in here.
I need to go outside.The air is cool against my face.
Why am I so anxious?
My watch say it's time for her to come out.

I appreciate what you are trying to do here. It's an interesting perspective on life, and the basic form of conveying it works.

There were, however, some problems with it. The flow was generally fairly choppy. Especially because it is being told from the point of view of someone so in control, it should be much more carefully edited. The last line in particular needs some work. I would recommend separating it from the stanza it's in and adding an s to "say". If it were edited, I think it would work quite well.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
