though the lines of this poem do not fall into the accepted format (short-long-short), it does I feel express the anticipation and energy experienced in this moment, in waiting. So I add it here.

note on the third: this one was made in the process of composing the second. It is included here because of the sound and the feel of it, though the words are misleading.

In reading the words of a recent poet, though he has long since passed, I found myself seeing his words almost as though it were he there, reading again the works of his hand. Always though, there was an element of myself in my perception, and so full transposition remained beyond me.

Viewing a small anxiety since passed by.
