"The lover's fatal identity is precisely: I am the one who waits."

-EXCERPT FROM THE WAIT

The Wait

"Am I in love? - Yes. since I'm wailing." The other never waits. Sometimes I want to play the part of the one who doesn't wait; I try to busy myself elsewhere, to
arrive late; but I always lose at this game: whatever I do, I find myself there, with nothing to do, punctual, even ahead of time.
