Running late
Rushing out
Walking briskly
Trundling carryon behind
Thinking laptop’s in the office
Wondering when the bus’s due
Exiting The Hamilton
Descending the ramp
Flashing green man
Welcoming the final stage
Approaching crossing
Counting down 16, 15, 14
Speeding around the corner
Disbelieving car cuts my path
Blasting horn another
Turning in front of me
Stopping before kerb
Looking at the driver
Gesturing to number 2
Waving their arms wildly
Giving-up self-righteously indignant
Proceeding onwards
Approaching crowd
Queuing
Reaching the stop
Questioning thoughts of others
Thinking I’m not pushing in
Checking the timetable
Screaming right leg
Protesting as adrenaline settles
Guessing their day’s worse than mine
