The Waiting Room, Astrolabe Return

In the waiting
In the waiting room
Different choices
Different voices loom

In the corner
The television tugs
At our attention
Histrionic news

Crowding out our fears
Pushy and overbearing interviews

In the frozen
The unmotion shrine
Institution for all the poor and dying

Cracks upon the yellow walls
Maps that only lead to inner trials

And then a name is called
Unfamiliar sound
It's only the second time
I recognize it's mine

I rise and follow like cattle into battle
