The Waiting Place

"Do you dare go in?
How much can you lose?
How much can you win?
And if you go in,
should you turn left or right?
Or right and three-quarters?
Or maybe not quite?
You can get so confused...
that you'll start in to race...
down long wiggled roads
at a break-necking pace...
and grind on for miles
across weirdish wild space...
headed I fear towards
a most useless place...
the waiting place.
For people just waiting.
Waiting for a train to go...
or for a bus to come...
or a plane to go...
or the mail to come
or the rain to go...
or the phone to ring
or the snow to snow...
or waiting around
for a yes or a no...
or a string of pearls
or a pair of pants...
or a wig with curls...
or another chance."
