I plunged into
the miasma
on November third
a few days later
had not thought
but got hit by
November fifth
yester morn
how could I have
forgotten my dad's
day of death
and my uncle's ditto
on the third -
an my mom's demise
as well on the fifth
years later -
a long time ago
and here I was
waiting for a shift
in rescuing democracy
wish it to come sooner
or it may not
so I am waiting like
Vlad and Estrag
for a result that
will come - process
questioned when
it should not be
inquiring neither
should my parents'
deaths on the same day
twenty eight years apart
the strange way of
when my mother's
last days were odd and
I knew that she might
die on the same dawn
into dark at the same hour,
my dad did not wait
for Godot to arrive
like this old drama
flipping the odds that
one day I might
die on this weird
Gunpowder Plot date
to another lightening
morning awaits democracy
or demise thereof
it gives me hope
the election and death
of equality and darkness
intervals of doubt
or clapping the hands
waving away the crucial
wait for Godot
and we all do it.....
