I missed that train again
A few steps slow
Buzzing last warning
And the door slides slowly shut
Mocking those who rush in defeat
The next three, six, maybe five minutes
Wasted long minutes
Mind the gap,
Assess all choices
That led to this
Missed opportunities
Misappropriated kindness
Translated to the universe
Rippling back to me
It was just a few wasted minutes
As each second peels away
Repeating a habit
Uncertain and livid
Trick to calm
Embrace delay
