Waiting by J.R.A.Gigney
Standing on the corner of a well trod street,
Watching other people greet each other as they meet.
Keeping hands warm in pockets filled with sweets.
Waiting for something to happen.
Standing on a station til a train comes in.
Listing to announcers who make such a din.
Screens that look as though they're made out of tin.
Waiting for something to happen.

The second line would scan better if you took the first "other" out of it...
ReplyDeleteWatching people greet each other as they meet,
Hmmm, that's a lot of waiting for something to happen! How about MAKING something happen?
