intelligent people
are late
slow people (stupid people)
are on-time.
I have always been
punctual
but now I’m getting smarter.
As I delay the day
because I have something important to do
I never have doldrums
It’s rude
but I would rather be late, and enter the storm
than wait for the winds to blow.
Starting a movie in the middle
is where the action is.
Maybe, I’m the main character who gets executed
so it makes sense
to appeal my case, and buy more time.
I write in the early mornings
one poem
two poems
I can feel the sweat of yesterday
like a grimy film
that I need to wash-off
three poems
Inspiration is more important than getting clean
This might be true for drug addicts.
I conjure a story out of my sub-conscious
and then I break
Shower
The rain on me
is creativity
and then the words really flow.
My story is telling itself
I’m supposed to be at the library
My tee-time is in one hour
Then, I need to meet my friend
and visit my mother
Being late for things
is go go go
Life is never slow
if you are always Late.

Love this! (and can very much re-late, to coin a phrase : )

A weird new spin on things to which I cannot relate. I’m never late and have no patience for people who make me wait. What a rude waste of my time. I’m like a fireman; I have my clothes ready the night before so I don’t have to stare at the inside of my closet for 20 minutes in the morning trying to decide what to wear. I hate having to rush anywhere. I hate having to rush, period.

Yes, it’s interesting how different cultures have different conceptions of being on time, or not. I am on time, all the time, but my best friend isn’t. Consequently, I do one or two things, and he is late, everywhere, and people are always excited to see him. He makes an entrance, or so they say.

Sometime, life moved, too slow, when you want it to, speed up, and, when you want life to, slow itself down, it goes into, fast-forward, mode…

It’s fun to live life in fast-forward. I rarely do this.

Well, I now have an overview of how to slow down or speed up life. I’ll just put it on cruise control and enjoy the ride.
Actually, that sounds too predictable and boring.

I found this so intriguing the concept of time makes my head hurt! Also when I think back in my youth I was always late for everything now never (barring mishaps) but I get so frustrated by those who are I think I need to slow down and be more chilled ❤️

I don’t know about coincidences but this… Today I woke up and started writing a poem about addiction and didn’t shower first thing in the morning as I always do. I finished writing when rain started pouring. Then you liked my poem and I found the link to read this poem in my email. I don’t know what to say!
Also, nice poem
