time is on my side

it is not that i have more "time" than you...
it is not that i have "less" to do...
i reconstruct the word "busy"
over and over each day.

my moments are delivered to me
in 15 minute increments
maybe 25...
i do yoga with my schedules
to fit in a brief moment of creativity
that does not involve decorating
the infrastructure of telecommunications
for an uninterested reader
or
attempting to engage a toddler with
something other than my screen saver.

i search for a brief moment
to feel inspired,
under the influence of just me.

but i do still find occasions during the day
to simply listen

maybe it is to you...
or maybe i am just pretending to
as i finish the email i was working on
when you entered...
but i am good at it...
and you rarely know.

because it is more important to me
that you feel heard.

and sometimes that is all i want
for you to listen...
