Waiting for the future
Please hold this thread as I fly away
Please hold the line; Iāve been waiting
Just one more minute?
Imagine
Imagining, Imaginal, Image, Imaging
Iām aging
Iām fraying, Iām frying, Iām going
Up-up-up and away -way -way!
Iām of the age
Iām of this age, Iām of age
Iām a mage
without: spell, bewitchment, witching, witched
Iām a woman of the mind. Iām a woman of memory.
Iām Penelope: no longer waiting
Instead, flying
