Poesie

A minute is a long time --
for an awkward silence.
An hour is a long time --
in a waiting room.
A day is a long time --
when you're hungry.
A year is a long time --
when you're in jail.
A decade is nothing --
when you're surprised your little niece is a woman.

  1. A good friend quotes a Greek as saying, "In Greece 100 years is a short time. In America 100 miles is a short distance."
