She waited for him,
at the corner of "walnut" and "Ivy"
nervous...
her muscles shaking...
her body aching...
her eyes moving in all directions,
hoping he would come.
Despite the cold night...she waited.
Despite the passing eyes of men's lust,
and women's jealousy....she waited.
The guilt. The shame.
The excitement. The joy.
The child in her.
"he's coming" she thought, and lit a cigarrette.
"I can't be imagining" she thought again.
His deep eyes, meeting hers halfway.
The observations,
the unspoken conversations,
the unexchanged touches,
the butterflies,
and the kiss.
Her tension is now rising.
She doesn't know his name,
where does he live,
or what does he do.
"who cares".
With the hours passing,
and her hope, like the city's lights, fading,
she remembered "Godot"....and the waiting!
waiting...
she spent her life waiting.
For him.
(picure: the intersection of Walnut st and Ivy st.)

Jan is actually a guy! a dutch friend here. We were running Sat morning, and he thought one of the girls passing us gave him a look. I came up with the first few lines on the spot, and continued it here!!
Just something I felt like doing....
