as the days roll by without us

we wait,
and wait, and wait.

we are all waiting for 
Godot.

tapping our foot, drumming
our fingers.
sipping drinks,

smoking slowly, blowing
warm
grey smoke 
towards the ceiling.

we are
looking out the window.
listening.

when
when will our ship come in.

the right job,
the right house, the next
love of

our life.
when will fear and loneliness
end. boredom subside.

when will joy begin?
we wait, we wait, we wait

as the days roll by without
us.
