I dislike waiting for a bus
imagine a life spent
waiting for something
so I time departures finely
dawdling through breakfast
then rushing to get everything & along the St.
imagine a life spent rushing to deadlines
when you've missed the bus
for all your cursing
you can relax
walk
maybe find
what you've been waiting for
rushing at
& missing
