• I impatiently sit.
    Sit very still,
    sit and wait,
    and wait for you.
    From Across the River
    I hear them shout,
    "Why wait? You've got better things to do!"
    But no.
    So I sit.
    So I wait.

    You come to see me.
    You come very close,
    but you tell me to keep sitting.
    To keep waiting.
    Growing more impatient by the hour.
    From Across the Way,
    I hear them yell,
    "Still waiting? Just stri-stri-stringing you along girl!"
    But - what?
    So I sit.
    So I think.

    Finally I stand.
    I stand and take a few steps.
    You watch with some unreadable expression,
    some unreadable expression as I walk away.
    Across the Universe,
    they embrace me,
    they laugh,
    "Finally! Girl you were waiting for something,
    something that would never come!"
