Poem: Sometimes

Sometimes you must wait for Spring to banish
Winter

Sometimes you must wait until the caged bird
Sings

Sometimes you must wait for the water in the kettle to
Boil

Sometimes you must wait for the planets to
Align

Sometimes you must wait for the divorce to be declared
Final

Sometimes you must wait until the last child leaves for
College

Sometimes you must wait for the game to come to
You

Sometimes you must wait for your enemies to hang
Themselves

Sometimes you must wait for the past to repeat
Itself

And sometimes it all falls into place
Like magic
The words crawl across the page
Effortlessly
And this has nothing
To do
With
You
