This building is no enchanter
The building is no enchanter
But I will wait
I will wait with bated breath
I will wait for Godot
Like those two men.
Leaning against this building,
which is no enchanter.
Waiting for Godot
Is a good pastime.
Am I indulging in nonsensical banter
My thoughts running away at a canter?
Standing against this building
which is no enchanter.
Am I a fool indulging in absurd monologues?
Has the staff defrauded the bank?
Have they siphoned off the funds?
Have the rogues run away with the money? What if they have?
Is it cool to bank on an untrustworthy bank?
Hush, I hear the jingle of keys coming towards this building,
which is no enchanter.
Ah, there come two men with baggage and rope. Is there any scope for clinging to hope? Or should I stand here, moping,
unable to cope with the overhanging uncertainty?
Why do I keep seeing these images?
Images of the crackle of incinerating hope
hissing,
raging,
spluttering?
Oh, perish the thought!
Not for me the bugbear of negativities.
Positive Imaging is what I believe in.
Let me fix my mind
on that AI generated toddler that captivated me the other day, singing zoobie zoobie
And wait
with the sweetness of expectation.
Yes
Let me await
the opening of the
Gate …
Did I hear the creak of rusted hinges?
Or just the hiss of hope as it singes?
