Waiting
A burr in my sock
A stone in my shoe
Waiting
A panther paces a cage
Back and forth to nowhere, soon
Waiting
Restlessness gnaws at ankles
Like a puppy held back from a ball
Waiting
All dressed up, but nowhere to go
Devilish boy, I got no number to call
Waiting
In every face, peering
Looking for that recognition
Waiting
A dime a dozen they come
But dagnabit I look only for one
