waiting waiting waiting

we're all waiting
for something. a bus, a train.

a husband, a wife.
a lover.

a kind word.
a pat on the back would
be nice.

we're standing in the rain,
in the sun.

we're at the edge of
a cliff.
our feet in the sand as
waves
crash upon us.

we're waiting for our ship
to come in.

we're waiting for Godot,
waiting on a check
in the mail,

a word from afar.
a package,

a star to wish upon.

we're all waiting on something.
sometimes
it's for something
or someone

we don't even know.
