This isn't the first time

This isn’t the first time
This has happened
We’ve done this before
Many times
We’re professionals
I know what I’m doing
And he knows what he’s doing
And what we’re supposed to be doing isn’t this
And what we promised you in the publicity
Or in the brochures
Isn’t what we’re doing now
It takes a while for us to warm up
It takes a while for us to get into it
It takes us a while to feel comfortable with our surroundings
It takes you a while to let yourselves go
It takes you a little longer to get to a place
where you leave all your baggage behind
It takes you about a third of the way into this
For you to relax properly
And then before you know it
It will be dark again
And we will be finished
And you might say to the person next to you
Is that it?
Is that 55 minutes already
Is that 56 minutes already
Is that 57, 58, 59…
