Benched

While I know this is all part of the human condition, that sometimes we find ourselves benched, on the sidelines, it can be difficult not to figure winners and losers.

These days
I never know
When I’ll find myself
Benched
With some other person,
Waiting for my beloved,
To go through the checkout line.
On such days
As this,
Even beautiful
Cool and sunny,
I may find myself
With another woman,
Waiting for her person
To go through the checkout line.
Sometimes I leave
Before she does,
Sometimes
She’s the winner.
I know we’ve both won
Already
Just sometimes it feels
Otherwise.
