women talking in the waiting room

women talking in the waiting room
one sitting with a baby
waiting for the children to finish
the silence was paining
they'd seem to want to speak aloud
to break the boredom they felt
and it seemed they'd like to bitch about
about their daily grind and melt
a common thread of little guy
seems to be their unifier
they sit beside one another
never thinking the other a liar
and i sat beside the two
one with a baby
waiting for my girl to return
so that we could escape away
she took a good long while
those tests take awhile to do
but in the end she came out with style
and emerged from silent gloom
the woman at the desk in blue
with a badge upon her chest
had little decoration about the room
didn't fancy a mess
but the place seemed so sterile and boring
surprising it was for kids
but these people like that artificial glory
authoritarian fibs
in the lot the people stared
as she threw a fit
they didn't care it was rude as hell
not really one bit
but the second they saw me glance over
they turned away
it didn't seem to be very good
really not that great
but at least they respected our privacy
and didn't make me feel any worse
she'd already done her job
the crazy - test curse
and now we're out of that place
a day has passed since then
bars babes and british talks
a wild night of events
