SWEETNESS IN HASTE

~
Tick Tock, Tick Tock, the clock chimes
The minutes and seconds count, Its 9:00pm.
The sound of my footstep dies, coming to a standstill
Twist and turns, locks and keys,
I step into the crazy maze of life

Hurry! Time is fast spent
Maneuvering through the sidewalks,
I pay no mind to distant greetings
Bumping through people, punctuality at its brief
Drowned in the current of sweat and flesh

Limbs stretch in hasty movement
I wonder will I be too late?
Mind far in horror of what may be
With no choice in my state,
All I can do is hope and pray

Opening the doors, I hurry to the origin of my worries
If it all goes south I would accept my fate
A lantern in the night guides my way
Finally with a tug at the metal door, I sigh in relief
My ice cream withstood the cut of electricity since 9:00am
