Waiting

Like we're collectively waiting for a bus.
What will it look like?
Will it look like war?

Ever since the day the media showed the degree of their culpability
more and more distant from the truth,
waiting for a bus.

The surreal world,
Obama drowning in thickening patronage
seems now,
waiting for a bus.

Soldiers from our past
and their mothers waiting as they do,
waiting for a bus.

Waiting for a bus
We know is not for us,
but waiting for the bus.
