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
