Expectations

So this is the closest
I’ve come to Miss Havisham
away from the printed page
and the expectations
are not great
when the drapes are withdrawn,
that birds will be dancing in puddles
or Micawber will strut
and tip his hat as my stare
disturbs the dust.

Tomorrow is another day, they say.

Edward Rochester Esq.

Men love to wonder, and that is the seed of science.
