Package Delayed


As I look around the street

I realize that I'm not where

I'm supposed to be.

Somewhere someone has realized I haven't arrived and is searching

just for me. I have to hurry.

But I forget about that

because I see these lights.

They glow and lighten the streets.

This disrtaction has strayed me from

my destination. But I don't care.

They can wait.
