You wait for the call
Wait, wait, wait
Patiently first, then impatiently
Call from your doctor
Text from your buddy
Fax from your boss
Call from a publisher (any publisher!)
Voice-mail from the cute guy in apartment 3B
Call from your overly pregnant wife
Expect your brother
Wait for news of your son the Marine
Pause for your girlfriend dying of cancer
Anticipate the organ donor clinic call
Wait for just a tidbit from a Higher Power
No news, no returned calls, no e-mails
No text, no fax, no voice-mail
Then
It rings, buzzes, beeps, chirps, vibrates
Your heart beats faster, skips a beat, you sweat
Take a deep breath
And you know it’s now up to you to
Answer the damned call!
