Go By Too Fast

A thought.

As she drives to the airport, she wonders

Will the plane will get her there on time?

And as she wonders she passes him on a bike

And he pedals fast so that he can be somewhere

But he's not quite sure where

And she stands in the coffee shop impatiently

Wondering when she will get it

Whatever it was she ordered, she can't recall

And he wonders when she will be done

So he can get whatever it was he wanted

And they rush into the theater, shoulder to shoulder

To get the best seats, so that they can see

The show that they were all there to see

"Is it an opera tonight?" She asked

"I'm not sure" He replied, "But I hope its not too long"

And after work he takes the train home

And he stares at the wall, wondering

Would the bus have been faster?

And he tucks his kids in to bed and kisses his wife

So that he can get to bed early

And in the morning he takes the bus to work

And decides that it is slower than the train

But for some reason he doesn't care

From the bus he can see the lake, where he used to swim every day

When he used to have the time

And he see's her driving to the airport

And on his bike, and in the coffee shop

And lining up at the theater, shoulder to shoulder

And he see's the lake, and he gets off the bus

And no one is there anymore, but he walks in

And he floats in the water and he forgets

Where it was he was even going anyway
