Waiting

We army of artists

Actors, singers and dancers

Crowd the lines at Starbucks

And coffee shops

Spilling our days away

Filling the time with refills

Killin time and opportunities

Sitting idle waiting for an invitation

An invitation to be great

Permission to succeed, sir?

Success passes in a blur

With Facebook and iPhones

Head down, ears closed

Wondering when will someone look up and hear me?

Clawing our way to our non existent weekend

Things will be better

Things will be different if I could just get past ______

No money but two day jobs

Working day jobs into the night

Living is from alarm to 5

Permission to succeed, sir?

I'll write tomorrow

I'll create next Tuesday

Just not now

The present is for waiting

Expecting something new

Life will change with the next 140

Characters in a play that's never cast

Inspiration strikes over a cup of cold brew

Melts with the ice in the glass

Condensation pools on the table

I'll write tommorow

I'll create next Tuesday

Be great next year

Just not now....

I've got time to waste
