Just to leave.

Tick tock tick tock

White rabbit has nothing on us

Let’s brush

pause pause

Let’s dress

pause cry pause cry

wrong socks

good socks

bad socks

Patience is a virtue -

I’m a jezebel

Tick tock tick tock

Throw the mouse at the clock

Toddler In Tow.

Waiting room

waiting room

Toddler in tow.

No nap has me praying.

Goldfish are my savior.

“Momma up!”

“down!”

“out!”

Wishing for peace.

Playground countdown.

5:30 pm

Parent chorus

“Casey, five more minutes!”

“Mikey, three more times on the swing.”

Flurry of feet

Sand tornadoes

Giggles

“We’re going home in two minutes, Joshua!.”

“Two minutes, Casey.”

“One more time on the swing. Weeee!”

“Okay, you can go down the slide two more times.”

Toddler in tow.

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

Leaving…

yearning…

the door

the front door

the knob taunts me from afar

the toddler wrestles me

earth shattering cries…

cries, cries, cries of socks

where’s the letter Z?

the letter Z will help

goodnight, goodnight, a thousand times goodnight moon

shoe on the foot
