Waiting

Someone waits for a taxi.
Hands rest on a shopping bag.

A cup of coffee cools on the table.
Two people stand near a bus stop.

A conversation pauses.
A friend is late.

Someone watches the door in a café.
Cars pass by.

The queue in a market does not move quickly.
No one comments.

Time passes without glancing at a phone.
Silence fills a courtyard bench.

Someone leans against a wall.
Nothing else happens.
