JOYSTERS

Could

Picture

Could tell you why the feet dangle here
Could tell you how they walked a million miles
Could tell you how they slayed dragons 
Fought  with Kings, 
Manipulated Queens 
and ravished Princes
and Princesses alike.

Could tell you how they fought wars
and went to distant stars
and climbed Mountains
of monumentous height.

Could tell you how they won
legal battles
and lost legal battles
and fought for civil rights
and to abolish them.

Could tell you how they wrote
Every letter
Every word
Every book
Every joke
Every lecture
Every picture

Could tell you
how they sung
every song
as they walked along
a lonely road
to your doorstep

Could tell you how they
Knocked and waited.
Knocked and waited.
Knocked and waited …

For You.

Could tell you that
it was not the feet
but the lips 

that dragged them …

searching, 
searching,
   searching …

for You.

Could tell you how
the lips remember
And the feet obey
And they wait
Outside your doorstep

Dangling

Outside your doorstep

Waiting
Waiting
Waiting

For You.

Could tell you
All these things
But wouldn’t.

While …

Waiting
Waiting

For You.
