Sensing, Respectfully

This is a little poem that I had printed in a school writing publication a few years ago. I thought it fit the mood as of late.

Sensing, Respectfully

Sitting, Waiting, Wanting, Watching

in the dark

in the dark

nothing

nothing

Sitting, Waiting, Wanting, Watching

in a crib

for mama

food

the spinning mobile

Sitting, Waiting, Wanting, Watching

no where

impatiently

toys

everything

Sitting, Waiting, Wanting, Watching

in the back seat

for daddy

freedom

the pretty cars

Sitting, Waiting, Wanting, Watching

in school

that damn clock

the little red haired girl

the little red haired girl

Sitting, Waiting, Wanting, Watching

in my home

for the bill

stability

my Ass

Sitting, Waiting, Wanting, Watching

in an office

for results

choices

that damn clock

Sitting, Waiting, Wanting, Watching

on a bench

patiently

a bologna sandwich

the birds

Sitting, Waiting, Wanting, Watching

in a bed

for death

peace

nothing

Sitting, Waiting, Wanting, Watching

in a box

in a box

nothing

nothing

Sitting, Waiting, Wanting, Watching

nothing

nothing

nothing

nothing‑‑‑‑light
