Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker states plainly what they are doing: waiting for a person named Godot. The flat, matter-of-fact declaration makes waiting sound like their entire purpose in the moment. Its simplicity leaves the expected arrival, and what it might change, unanswered.
