Stream of consciousness poem -- part 38


Chapter 38

October 29, 2011 – In the morning

If we leave
By nine
We could reach
The hospital
By noon

We want
To reach
The hospital
By noon

But we
Do not leave
By nine

No matter
How much we hurry
An almost-three year old boy
Cannot
Be rushed

And likewise
No matter
How much we hurry
An almost-three hour drive
Cannot
Be rushed

We will
Arrive when we arrive
But it will not be
By noon
