WAITING

They departed long ago

but I remain stationary.

I sit

sweating out this exceptional day.

I am waiting.

I am writing.

I am reading

and riding brainwave-activity, far and near.

Right here, photosynthetically fueled,

I am racing through the astral plane

of imagination

waiting for a cloud or a bear

or some distraction from my sunny reverie.

I am waiting here

stating the obvious

in this park

on this gorgeous joyous Saturday.

I am arresting all motion

desisting from action

persisting in relaxing.

I am waiting for the next thing.

I am here.

I am now

and while I, too

will eventually depart

I ain't going nowhere

yet.
