out of sync

[A. Nony Mouse]

hssssss...
hydraulic brakes hiss as the bus leaves the stop...
panting... sweating, I sprint just a few more feet
but the bus doesn't stop-
I stand in a crowd on the corner waiting for a cab...
the cab arrives... as I reach for the handle on the door, a young woman reaches as well--
--she's a picture of perfection-- beautiful dark eyes, intelligence, beauty and depth pour out of her
she offers to share the cab, to which I reflexively reply
~I'll catch the next one~
always the next one.
I remember when i was young, playing a game of tag where the only rule was that I was it.
If I caught one of the older kids, we ran a different direction
I chased them. They ran. I caught them. They ran.
always chasing... running
sometimes things just seem right.
sometimes things just work.
just not today...

if you found out you were dreaming, would you want to wake up?
Please don't interrupt me. That last sentence took a lot of effort to think of and now I have to think of another one.
