I Can'T Wait For You... Poem by RIC BASTASA

waiting makes me tense
i am restless and i do not have the temerity to
be patient,

when i wait all things seem to run away from me
and it is sickening to feel that i am the only one left out
at the station

i hate the silence of the pavement when all of them step inside
the box and then all their sounds and laughter fade away

nobody wants to be left alone in a catacomb of helplessness
no one wants to be dead and all alone feeling like a shattered rock

and so i have decided that i must go with the crowd
inside the train going nowhere.....
