PAD 4 Hold that blank


Hold Your Horses
She calls for help.
I poke my head into the bathroom
where she’s playing in the bubbles.
“Hold your horses,” I tell her
as I go retrieve something.
When I return I ask
did you hold your horses?
She throws a fit of giggles.
She’s an adult
but a child in many ways.
She’s holding her horses.
