Waiting On Butterflies

Waiting For Butterflies Waiting to go on Waiting to get on Waiting to get caught Waiting for the start of a poetry reading Waiting to get on with my life Waiting for the stars to recognize me Waiting for my light to shine Waiting to move on to the next step Waiting on the steps Waiting on a park bench watching life and people go by Children running barefoot in the grass Dog owners walking dogs and dogs walking people People of the same sex flirting with each other in the public square Waiting to find romance and even love again Waiting for the next job interview Waiting for my cell phone to just f-ing ring Waiting for some kind of positional transformation from rags to riches from lonesomeness to couples playing footsie under the covers Waiting like Godot or the second coming Waiting to catch a butterfly But how do you even catch a butterfly its been said that you don't catch a butterfly A butterfly catches you Still waiting Reply Reply All Forward
