I am waiting for my case to come up
and I am waiting 
for a rebirth of wonder
and I am waiting for someone 
to really discover America
and wail 
and I am waiting 
for the discovery 
of a new symbolic western frontier
and I am waiting
for the American Eagle
to really spread its wings
and straighten up and fly right
and I am waiting
for the Age of Anxiety
to drop dead
and I am waiting
for the war to be fought
which will make the world safe
for anarchy 
and I am waiting
for the final withering away
of all governments
and I am perpetually awaiting
a rebirth of wonder

I am waiting for the Second Coming
and I am waiting 
for a religious revival 
to sweep thru the state of Arizona
and I am waiting 
for the Grapes of Wrath to be stored
and I am waiting
for them to prove 
that God is really American
and I am seriously waiting…
for Aphrodite 
to grow live arms
at a final disarmament conference
in a new rebirth of wonder

...and I am awaiting
perpetually and forever
a renaissance of wonder
