Waiting (©2017 John T. Windle/Vaudeville John)
Waiting for a sign,
waiting for a lead
into the light.
Waiting after they lied,
waiting for a moon
to turn the tide.
Waiting for
the next laugh.
Waiting for an upturn
in the graph.
Waiting for events
to deserve an epitaph.
Waiting for a sign.
Waiting for the bell;
waiting for the
signal ending hell.
Waiting for the guts.
Waiting for an else
to fill the ruts.
3 square meals,
a roof, a floor,
a family,
a locking door,
electricity,
running water.
You can read
and you want more?
What are you waiting for?
