JUST THESE FEW MINUTES

I'm just looking for a few minutes
to get down the word

to forget for a moment 
the struggle

the struggle for dollars and cents
the struggle for the universe's praise
the struggle for the tiniest remnants of love

I'm just looking for a few minutes
to get down the word

to shake something loose
to document the red flowers

of the tattoo on the guy's arm
sitting in front of me

or how good The Monkees
feel coming through my earbuds

or the pealing laughter
of the unsupervised children

twirling in their own universes
near the restaurant's faulty soda machine.
