waiting


this is Sydney
she was
 waiting 
oh so 
patiently
for 
her person Rachel
last 
Sunday afternoon
at
Polished Beauty Bar
while
Rachel and I had manicures
pre-Hurricane Sandy


while Syd
 waited patiently
 Rachel and I 
stormed 
Zabars
 both intent 
on getting 
literally
 last minute 
'supplies'

it was 3 something
  Zabars 
was closing at 4
 so their employees
 could get home safely 
before
 the subway shut 
down at 7 pm
