Waiting for Godot 2019

Somehow I’m still here

Waiting for Godot

Who should be arriving

Any minute now.

I sit and wait

I stand and wait

I speak to strangers and wait

And I wait some more.

Tired of sitting down, I’d stand up

Tired of standing up, I’d sit down 

Tired of standing up and sitting down

I’d walk up and down this busy road

And return to this spot

Devoid of Godot.

Are you alone?

Yes.

No.

I’m waiting for someone.

Who?

Godot.

Who’s Godot?

Mind your own business!

And the stranger moves away.

Are you alone?

Yes.

No!

Well, I’m waiting for...something.

What?

Godot.

What’s Godot?

I don’t know.

So the stranger moves on.

So.

Here I am.

Still alone.

Still waiting for Godot.
