:Repetition:

in the kitchen, the tap still drips

the rain still patters and the clock

still ticks

:Wait:

through the window and the drizzle she can watch

cars go by; through the late news and the hours

she can sit alone and

:Hold:

this never happened, this never could

and if she thought it likely, you know she’s leave for

:Reprise:
