Brilliant
sunshine,
very blue sky.
Occasional
car speeds down
quiet streets.
Everyone
has places
to go.
Everybody
has things
to do.
Overbooked
overscheduled,
a daily thing.
Too little time
to get from
Point A
to Point B
and arrive at
Point C on time.
How does
a person
catch up
in a world
where today
feels like yesterday?
