The Next Train

The train can leave without me-

It’s not like there isn’t another one coming in a few more minutes.

So, why rush?

I’d rather take my time down the escalator,

Looking, listening, thinking…

And when the time’s right,

I’ll walk onto my train at my own pace,

While all the people behind me rush towards the closing doors,

As if that was their last chance.
