WAITING

I SEEM TO SPEND MY LIFE WAITING

    I AM ALWAYS WAITING FOR…

          The Redline   The 71 or 73 Bus

          The Doctor   A call from a lover

          An email from a friend   The mail

          A book to arrive   An appointment

          A cheque to clear   The concert to start

         The concert to end   A friend to arrive

         The day to start    The drink to arrive

         The pain to end    My sight to return

         My anxiety to abate The storm to end

         Janet to come home   Morgen to arrive

“Nam Sibyllam quidem Cumis ego ipse oculis meis vidi
in ampulla pendere, et cum illi pueri dicerent: Σιβυλλα
τι θελεις; respondebat illa: αποθανειν θελω.”

           AND I WAIT TO DIE
                   AS DO WE ALL
