I’m waiting for nothing to happen

It took so long to get here

Always pressing always pushing

Crushing triumphs I heard you cheer

My agenda for tomorrow

Hmm let’s take a peek

Nine a.m. nothing noon zero

Looks the same all week

Not expecting phone call

No big score no promotion

If my life moves any slower

I’ll be living reverse motion

Here’s what they taught me

Breathe in breathe out

Organize some drawers

Take the garbage out

No mention in the news

Accomplishments long gone

My name on mailbox only

Think I’ll mow the lawn

Boxes donated to college

Some awards still on a wall

Home office versus corner

It’s where I go to loll

Look at life you missed

My mentor likes to say

Then yawns the biggest grin

Time for first nap of the day

I’m waiting for nothing to happen

It took so long to get here

Always pressing always pushing

Crushing triumphs I heard you cheer
