Fashionably Late

www.craigboyce.com

A squirrel stopped by this morning, scratching
on the window of my office, distracting me
from paying bills and checking mail presumably
on his way to work. But even though I tapped hello
in hopes he'd stay awhile and chat, he mumbled
some excuse about a Monday meeting
he was late for, more than fashionably seemed
to be the gist although I couldn't hear exactly
through the pane of glass that's extra thick
because we live in Florida and must be vigilant
in case a hurricane stops by another day.
