The Sitting Place

Being evacuated is much like the waiting place in oh the places you’ll go by Dr. Suess. It’s the sitting place.
People sit here
People sit there
People sit everywhere.
They sit to watch the news about the storm.
They sit to play board games or cards.
They sit to read.
They sit to have meetings and updates.
They sit to have worship service.
They sit to watch movies.
They sit to share computers to e-mail they’re families.
They sit to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner.
They sit in wet clothes because they don’t know how long their clean clothes have to last..
They sit with their animals.
They sit and try to make phone calls.
They sit because they can’t go outside.
They sit and eat snacks while they talk to their friends.
And they sit because they don’t know what else to do.
