for now

I was called to check on the stove.
I was late for work-

so I didn't. 

I was asked
to make sure...

However-

(Later)

From work I could see
a dark grey
cloud off in the
distance-

There is a moment of panic...

What are the chances?
What are the odds?

Of all the mistakes
Home is everything.

What's so important that it can't wait?

To know 

To know for sure...

What's so important that it can't wait?

If I have lost everything,
it can wait.
