April Fools

April Fools

And I'm going to
Lie
To you

Work late
End of
Quarter
Shit
I have to
Finish
Skip dinner
I'll catch
Up later

Crushed
Or
Deeply
Saddened
But understanding
Because well
Well
Work is
Work

Anxious
To wait
On a phone
Call
Text of
"I'm on my way"
Hopefully
Hopeful

A knock
On the
Door
Unexpected
Stranger
Unannounced

And low
And behold
I'm
On time
With flowers
Thoughtful
Lovely

April Fools
