After Frost

He comes here
by whatever way he can, 
not too late,
not too soon.

He sits, waiting.
He doesn’t know 
why he should
have such a patience.

He sits at a table 
on a chair.
He is comfortable 
sitting there.

No one else
in this room,
no others, no expectations, 
no sounds.

Had he walked 
another way,
would he be here, 
like they say.
