I Am Waiting

I am Waiting (my version)
I am waiting
For a fairytale to come true
For prince charming to slip a glass shoe on my foot
For all the evil haters to watch in more disgust
And I am waiting
For the recession to recede
For the stimulus package to stimulate me
And for the protesters outside of Madoffs apartment to disappear
I am waiting
For the period to be over
For the day to be over
For Friday to come and for the week to be over
And I am perpetually awaiting
For the sun and moon to switch positions
And for 50 Cent to do a duet with Teddy Geiger
I am awaiting
A united nation
Where every state agrees to disagree
But still allows gays to marry
I am wondering
Now and forever
What Lies Beneath?
And I am perpetually awaiting
The truth about Christopher Columbus
And Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
I am waiting
To be taken
To heaven where ease is guaranteed
And I wonder
If that will ever occur
I am waiting
For a reinvention of love
Reinvention of hope
A reinvention of life
And I am perpetually awaiting
For the sun and moon to switch positions
I am waiting
To open my college admissions letter
To open my heart to new experiences
To open my mind to life
And I am perpetually waiting
For Silvia Browne to tell me who I was a billion years ago
I am waiting
For equality in the Middle East
For the Russians to finally win in Hockey
For Hitler to finally finish off the rest of the Jews
I am waiting
To stand up to all my fears
And stare them down like a “G”
And I am perpetually waiting
For the sun and moon to switch positions
I wonder
If Angelina Jolie will adopt Elian Gonzalez
And put Cuba on the map
If Pit Bull will finally “para” and make us all proud-er
I am waiting
To hear that Degrassi will go on for generations
That Gossip Girl will die
And that no one will aspire to be just like Charlie Sheen in Two and a Half Men
And I am perpetually awaiting
For the M7 bus
I wonder
If Flava Flav lives on 125th street
And if that hair is really Brett Michaels
And if Leilene really Loves Money or just wants it to love her
I am waiting
To hear from Manhattan College
To end racism
To really feel American
And I am perpetually waiting for the sun and moon to switch positions
I am waiting
For sleep to not be something we catch up on
And for pain to be healed by ice cream
I wonder how long I will wait
Perpetually. Forever.
