Waiting for the Show

Sitting in Palm Springs,

Corner of Starbucks and Coffee Bean,

Waiting for the movie to begin the beguine;

Waiting for the birthday to arrive;

Waiting for anniversaries to come alive;

Waiting for the homecoming;

Waiting for the end of all shortcomings;

While waiting a bus went by

And I – well –

                    Missed it.

But no cry

Or sigh

                   Escaped;

Just another thought of “I”.
