Unfulfilled Expectations

every day he waited

for the 69 bus

the bus never arrived

he did not know

they had cancelled

that line

a year ago

 

too often we yearn

for something that

might never happen

doggedly disregarding

the signs

only

to wind up lingering

clueless without agenda

in the waiting room

of unfulfilled expectations

 

with life passing by

beyond the walls
