waiting on the world to change

Filed under: writing — ntsofme// @ 5:51 am

he sits there, waiting. waiting.

on the corner of 25th and 8, his overcoat well-worn with the wisdom
of yesterday’s scraps and today’s dew.

guitar in hand – out of tune – strumming along to a song only
he remembers.

silhouettes pass him by, flashes of the rainbow, desaturated in
the rain-sent gloom.

and he sits there, waiting. waiting. waiting on the world to change.

  1. would you collect all your poems and publish them one day?

  2. probably not. I always feel a sense of mediocrity in retrospect when analysing my attempts at poetry.

    sometimes you just want to … write. and the fulfillment of that desire is sometimes reward enough 🙂
