Do you have a minute?

In this season... let us give each other more than a minute or two.

This is the time
The world sidles up to me
Says
Do you have a minute
This week?
Might I have
One or two minutes?
In response I offer
More than a few minutes
Encourage the world
To take more time
Than a couple minutes
To figure things out
To grieve
To notice all might not be
As well
As we think
It should be.
This is the time
I find myself
Asking exactly the same thing
Do you have a minute
This week?
Me and the world
All of us together
Sidling up to,
Sliding into each other
Asking
Do you have a minute?
