It Goes Fast
Can i pay for a second?
To talk for a minute.
Can we escape for an hour?
Wake up the next day.
I'll call you next week.
We'll fix the patio this month.
Married this year.
He's in kindergarten at 5.
On the porch coffee and cigarettes.
We have been riding the decades.
70 smiling no reason for hiding.
At a gravestone confiding
Thank you for that second.
You gave me life undying.
