7 AM, woke up late

the next 10 minutes will decide my fate

I know that I won't get to work on time

but I'm rushing to get on the road.

Glasses aren't where I left them last night

and my keys are in the other room,

I'm brushing my teeth and ordering breakfast

the clock's ticking down to my doom.

Pants on, shirt buttoned

hands full with no lunch in them

I forgot to grab my phone again

so I run back inside, 7:05.

Back out

got everything

car's locked

keys in my pocket

hands full

drop my coffee

get in the car

covered in coffee

and it's Wednesday.
