i'm waiting on you

i keep

waiting for the book to kick in,

the movie,

the video,

the conversation,

the long

joke

being told badly. what's wrong

with me?

i'm losing it.

i've lost all patience with this

world.

this traffic,

waiting for things to move,

for the light

to change,

i'm tired of waiting

for this water

to boil.

i'm waiting and waiting

to hear one

good

new song.

i'm here, i'm at the corner

of tenth and nine.

i'm waiting on you.
