firm plans

You're going to call
before you leave, right?

Once you come
to pick me up, it will be

too late, to shower
and shave and a change of clothes,
and everything else - one last
cigarette, perhaps, before

you pull up to see
the smoke. Please call,

I know about how long the drive takes.
As soon as you call, I will need every minute,

and just

a bit more,

for both our sakes.
