"I Am Waiting"

Anxiety. This is my life. As I have intimated before, I don’t know if I will receive my disability benefits from Principal Life after 5/21/09. That is tomorrow. If I don’t receive a letter in the mail, I will call.

One of my favorite poems is called “I Am Waiting” written by Lawrence Ferlinghetti. A few lines are a good summation to how I feel today. There’s a link to a site with the entire poem if you are interested (in the title of the post).

“I am waiting for my case to come up
and I am waiting
for a rebirth of wonder…
and I am waiting for the Age of Anxiety
to drop dead…”

Indeed.
