Waiting

Contributor: Andrew Fujio Rodriguez

Sitting here watching the face
Of time and ever-moving space
Watching the ticker revolve around
As if it were the Earth

I’m waiting for time to pass me by
Waiting for the day I die
Watching the clock go ‘round and ‘round
Sitting…waiting for my time

My body feels so rotten
Misused and forgotten
Feels like through the years
My elixirs are killing me
Time slows, my mind goes
My mind sets fire to my toes
I can run around my whole life
I can wait for time, but time won’t wait on me

I’m waiting for time to pass me by
Waiting for the day I die
Sitting…waiting for my time
Waiting…and wasting away…
