Don‘t hurry up

Marco Grosse

We were waiting for wind
that never came.

Flags were hanging
loose from masts
and the flat sea revealed
that nothing would change
anytime soon.

A voice from a radio read
the weather forecast,
but it was too far away.
Children were playing ball
on the shore, others building
a castle of their dreams.

Divers were preparing their boat
and those who were laying in the sun
were laying in the sun.

We just gave up waiting.
And had plenty of time.
