What are you waiting for?

It’s a waiting game.

Can’t wait forever.

The waiting’s over.

Something’s wrong.

Sitting in God’s waiting room.

Waiting for death.

Waiting for life.

Waiting for something.

Anything.

And nothing.

An appointment with the doctor, or the dentist.

To diagnose, to clean, or to remove the decay.

Come back if things don’t get better.

Come back in six months, or a year.

Or not at all.

Waiting for the train.

It never arrives.

It doesn’t stop.

It leaves without you.

Waiting for love.

If only someone loved me, everything would be all right.

And they do.

And it is.

But still, I’m waiting.

So it’s not that.

Waiting for the right moment.

Billions of moments, and none of them the right one.

Talk about bad luck.

Waiting in line.

Billions before and after me.
