Waiting room
waiting room
Toddler in tow.
No nap has me praying.
Goldfish are my savior.
“Momma up!”
“down!”
“out!”
stroller shakes, stroller shakes
Clock ticks
Goldfish gone
Into the room
the size of a dime.
Spilled milk
Strawberry milk
shirt off
pants off
“Momma milk!”
“Momma milk!”
Gown on
feet in stirrups
… silence…
awkward.
Brilliant.
