I clear my throat
and stand and wait
my presence suggesting
they might be late
I ignore their lingering parting hugs
with a resigned series of shrugs
I’ll get paid all the same
It won’t be my fault
If he misses the plane
Padre
I clear my throat
and stand and wait
my presence suggesting
they might be late
I ignore their lingering parting hugs
with a resigned series of shrugs
I’ll get paid all the same
It won’t be my fault
If he misses the plane
Padre
