Can I have just a minute, please?
A minute to step out of heels,
unwind pearls, slip off my dress.
Can I have just a minute, please?
A minute to get comfortable
in fleece and warm fuzzy socks.
Can I have just a minute, please?
A minute to de-people,
to rest my psyche from a weekend
of soccer and church.
Can I have just a minute, please?
A minute – before I hear my name
coming from three different parts of the house.
They gave me just a minute.
