240520 長短長の待ち

待ちの辛さは兄さん達
重々承知だったから
僕には何かと
ヤる事を与えてくれて

お陰様で僕は
全くと謂って好いほど
退屈シなかったんです

思い起こせば
高校の数学、物理、科学

英字新聞にフォーブス
経済誌に画集

兄さん達は
色んなモノを貸してくれて
ソレを読んでる内に
待ち時間が終わる

気付けば出番
なんて日々が続いて

待ち時間は僕にとって
雌伏の時でアり
そして至福の時でもアりました

あれから30年(きみまろ)
僕は
自分で自分の待ち時間を
何とかシなければ
ナらなくナりました

今はスマホが有るから
荷物も軽いし助かりますね

本当にデキる事が増えて
選択と決断に困るくらい

いま自分が若者だったなら
アレコレと選択を悩んで
眠れないんじゃないか
と想像だけで薄ら寒いのです

240520 Waiting for long, short and long

The older guys knew how hard it was to wait.
So they gave me something to do.

Thanks to them, I was never bored at all.

When I think back
I remember high school math, physics, science

English newspapers, Forbes
Economics magazines and art books.

My seniors
Lent me all kinds of stuff.
And by the time I read them.
The wait is over.

And before you know it, it's time to go.
And the days would go on and on

Waiting time is for me
It was a time of humiliation
And it was also a time of bliss

Thirty years have passed since then
I have to do something about my waiting time by myself

Now that I have a smart phone
I don't have to carry so much stuff.

There are so many more things I can do
It's so hard to make choices and decisions.

If I were a young person right now
I would have trouble making choices and decisions.
I would not be able to sleep
I get chills just imagining it.
