I don't know what I'm waiting for

I DON’T KNOW WHAT I’M WAITING FOR (E A D G B E)

 


Look at this garden. So green.

I cannot touch it. I’m scared I will kill it.

How can I grow like you do? Butterfly, how did you know when you were ready?

I’m still waiting.

 

Look at me. Am I disappearing? I can’t feel your hands but mine feel like they might kill me.

Garden hose. Pretty rose. Itchy nose.

Did you know? Were you told? When you got old.

I’m still waiting. I don’t know what for.

 

The good guys are bad. The bad guys are worse.

I want to sit in the sun and come undone until nothing hurts.

 

I don’t know what I’m waiting for.

I don’t know what I’m waiting for.
