What are you waiting for?
Alone again in the crowded line awaiting
Their arrival, he dreams they race and pretends
A car races through traffic –rocketing
Around cars and corners to be on time.
Ostracized from all, she does not even know
Her grave transgression nor how to make amends
In order to prove her love and faithfully show
That she is punished for an imagined crime.
For their friendship, for their love, any nod at all,
He gives all he has, on them his life money he spends
Hand over hand, until the bill comes and the call
Takes his final breath and blood, his last nickel and dime.
Everyone has one – the means to any ends.
Everyone profits from our forgettable friends.
