Expediency: Something Else

And then,
It hit me,
A possible way
To stay
Exactly where I am,

A potential method
For making this waiting game bearable,
Until such a time
As something else comes along

And so, I searched online,
Until I found,
A laptop I could afford
That I could use anywhere

And then, I bought it
And took it home
And began
To learn how to use it

And that very evening
Began to feel better,
Having accomplished
This goal;

But, as for
The long-term results,
That will have to wait
For the trial and error,

Maybe this
Will keep me going
For an interval
Or even lead to something substantial.

Although it made me smile,
I won’t know for a while
What will become
Of this latest escape attempt.
