Just 10 More Minutes, Please

You have agitated my patience, my love

please, just a few more moments for myself here.

Children –

calm your cries and play some games,

I’m really getting to the good part here.

The doorbell now?

There are unexpected guests and now

mom’s calling randomly just to check in.

Sigh.

One day, me, one day I will find the time for myself

to keep my nose steady in reading this book. Uninterrupted.
