HOPING
Sitting, just sitting, just talking,
just coffee at McDonald's or
the Diner from 9 till 11 and
then making their way home
to an empty kitchen table.
Sitting, just sitting, just watching,
just waiting on a couch near the
nursing home front door - hoping
today a kid will show - but not today,
so the slow crawl back to an empty bed.
