By Kara Bibb

I wait on people for a living
Wait
as they make up their minds
Wait
until they smile back at me
Wait
for my cue to say you are welcome

I write down thoughts as words
Write
as I sort through my mind
Write
until the words smile back at me
Write
and take orders like script from God

I believe in muses and the divine
I know
a life isn’t composed of skin or bones
A poet
isn’t composed of words or thoughts
We are
the muse and the divine, we are composing
