Shared with DialoguePoetry.org in 2003 and maybe time to share again:

I need just a moment. A moment to breath. To sigh. To reflect. To plan.
To prepare.
To say my piece. To make my way. It's only a moment. This brief little
space here.
This tiny spot beneath my pen.
It's only a moment. Just enough time to expound. To enhance. To enlarge.
To enrage.
To engulf. To deluge. To empart. To outrage. To extoll. To enact. To
exclaim. To fullfill.
It just takes a moment.
In just a moment I'll be down the bend to the wall torn open, rendered
asunder.
To champion victims. To call forth justice. To bring retribution. To
rectify wrongs.
To vanquish foes. To make it right.
Please give me a moment to make my way to the gates of Heaven. To whisper
my speech
in the ear of God. To beg that he listen to all I can say in this one small
moment.
I just need a moment.
