Waiting for the Miracle
For decades
I sat at the bottom
Of a bottle
Waiting for something
To acknowledge
My existence
For nine months
She sat in the park
Waiting for him
To acknowledge
The love
That grew inside of her
I don’t know
I just don’t know
Why so many of us
Work so hard
To build
Our own cages
