Time Out, I'm Two

A two year old
Taking some time to calm down
In the corner
Voluntarily
Is either like a
Freshly made bed
With a mint on the pillow and
A fluffy white bath robe hanging on the door
When you’re at home or
Perennials
Planted last year
Poking their heads up through the dirt
This year
Or
It’s something else entirely
Something you see late at night
On a lonely and
Dimly lit
Street corner
That makes you go home and
Lock all the doors
