What difference does a moment make?
A Second in Time
By Michael Dean Cook 1-27-21
I had a schedule,
My day was packed full.
But chance things happened,
Odd things were unplanned.
Silly old me sees,
I’ve forgotten my keys.
Back in I hurry,
Grab keys in a flurry.
Damned old age to blame,
Irked at this old game.
On the road at last,
Late but going fast.
A little behind,
Where I wish to be.
Best I reckoned,
I’m late a second.
Wreckage ahead,
Bloody body dead.
A second of time,
The body’d be mine.
