NAPOWRIMO April 28, 2025 Last Minute Annie

 


 

Last Minute Annie

someone who leaves things to the very last minute, often the night before a deadline. - Urban Dictionary

She always called me that

when it was usually something she wanted doing

and I needed to be elsewhere.

or

when he laughed and told me

if I had a brain I'd be dangerous

but better be on the honor roll

so

in today's workday world

my pattern is to be ready ahead

as much as is possible

but

others become last minute annies

expecting I'm available 

and compliant

while

inside I hear the laughter

feel the humiliation

and burn with embarrassment and anger.
