"Antici...pation"

by Dan Grayson

It's not so much the waiting
it's that i don't know what i am waiting for
Standing in the middle of a million 
goal-oriented people.  Just...standing

How long until something comes up
1/2 empty coffe cup (2 sugars 1 cream)

So how long will i be here waiting 
for who knows what

Oh look, a no standing sign
Oh look, a long line, a long line of people
waiting in line to wait
1/4 past eight

loving that wait, gotta love that crazy wait.
Waiting to be in love, 
waiting to be in love with who knows who.

i do
10 till two, still in line                   
        waiting for you
