Sheikh Ishfaq
The word "wait" here means?
I live in the town in a street
It is crowded with traffic and feet
There are buses and motors and trams
I wish there were meadows and lambs
The houses all wait in a row
There is smoke everywhere that I go
I don't like the noises I hear
I wish there were woods very near
Q. 'The houses all wait'. Why does the poet use the word 'wait'?
Please answer to this question
Thanks in advance!

I think it means "stand" here. The poet may have used word "wait" to make one think about waiting in a queue - it just fits in the picture of a busy city.

When people wait in a queue they usually stand in a straight line. To answer your question, it means the houses are located side by side in a row.
