Waiting For March

Everyone is green, waiting
to emerge
from the soil of winter.
We're waiting.

Waiting for acceptances
and airplanes.
Dead week,
due dates,
expectant fingertips.
Finals, ash,
the beginning of the end.
Death, Superman,
a hole in the wall.
Corned beef,
spring forward,
March.

All year, biding our time, --
when she comes round
we all forget
that we were ever waiting.
