Waiting For Signs

I used to wait for a sign, she said,
before I did anything. Then one
night I had a dream & an angel in
black tights came to me & said,
You can start any time now & then
I asked is this a sign? & the angel
started laughing & I woke up.

Now I think the whole world is
filled with signs, but if there's
no laughter, I know they're not
for me.
