as if I’m a distraction
in the middle of what
you’re doing. I’m not
your bladder that needs
emptying out.

Don’t call me
as part of your routine,
because I’m penciled in. And
it’s one more thing to do
before you retire for the
afternoon.

Call me
honey. Call me muffin,
dear, maybe cupcake. Call
me smiling. Call me laughing.
Because you’re thinking about me.
Sweet
