What Is Waiting?-Alejandro G.
What Is “Waiting”?
By Alejandro G.
It’s the bitch that bit the dog.
It’s the song that killed the writer.
It’s the lighter that broke before you burned your house.
It’s the condom that broke.
It’s the colors that made you blind.
It’s the eclipse of your solitude.
It’s the trip that got canceled.
It’s the picture exposed.
It’s the battered face in pain.
It’s the bus you missed even when you ran to it.
It’s the love that left you hanging.
It’s the rope that snapped when you jumped.
It’s the son that killed the father.
It’s the world that killed the sun.
It’s the words that got you in trouble.
It’s the mistake that got you fired.
It’s the candy that broke your tooth.
It’s the stiff jaw that interrupted your oral presentation.
It’s your love.
It’s the answer that never came.
It’s the phone that never rang.
It’s the letter returned.
It’s the Spanish that failed you.
It’s the voice that cracked on that very last note.
It’s that lover who left.
And it’s you.
Left alone in a dark room.
Anticipating tomorrow with everything,
But a solid answer of what’s next.
Only with your instinct to hold dear to patience,
And continue on with your doings,
With your most beloved intentions
Of trying anything
To get things done and accomplished
In a better way.
The only way that you know how to work for things.
Patiently, and always waiting.
