To be on time is boring
All to predictable
Rushing is not good for the heart
Don't be crushed by obligations
You are are better off staying young and fresh

Full disclosure, IN NO WAY autobiographical
toward evening his family sees him stagger
across the finish line breaking wind but no
records for his or any other age group
doing this marathon was never about glory
yet he feels like a champion today
too early for this
again, this instead of eggs?
really? do you know what time it is?
damn, before you know it
you'll be late for work again

Tad bit late
Agreed—that’s not great
Rehearsing what to say
Down on my knees to pray
Yes, let’s hope they’ll wait
Taken along a ride
Across town we
Revel in each other’s sin:
Delightful glances
Yet we do not touch.
