Bus Route F

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
