grabbing my bag
i'm already fifteen minutes late
she won't mind
all my friends should know by now
that when they tell me a time
they should add at least an hour
ill run slow and ill walk fast
but somehow i never catch up
to the version of me
that is supposed to be five minutes ahead in that window
five minutes makes such a difference
though we always used to beg with our parents to
stay for at least an extra twenty
