Godot Shows

We live in a land of Want
            confounded by Desire’s flashy pulse/confused into thinking that Our
Wants are Ours and Ours alone
We live in a land of Want
            We have rewritten
            Our definitions
Want: (1) to need. (2) an emotion that is dangerous if not fulfilled Immediately

In this land,
everything We need is questioned by Our Want
I don’t want to clean my house, bathe, brush my teeth, eat my carrots
I [just] Want to escape, to dream, to rationalize
I [just] Want my entitlements fulfilled
I [just] Want the world to sigh and laugh and love with every word;
posted 1 4 0 character note, cyber publication, impossible to ignore: Immortal

In this land,
We walk with
invisible cameras documenting Our
Every move
Every word
Every. Every. Every

In this land,
We walk like Zombies [the apocalypse has already happened—didn’t you know?] through Our lives [it’s catching]
waiting for immediate gratification to come
waiting            waitingwaiting
Did Godot ever show? Waiting. Waiting.
Our only patience is with Ourselves
Time is Master to the Others. Not Us.
But Others think they are Us. And We are Us. And We
must be served by Others.
But Others are extinct
And it is only Us/We
So, We must service Ourselves
So, let’s just wait
Maybe an Other will appear.
Maybe. Maybe. Maybe
