How crazy am I?
I am going to be late
What can they do?
So I slept in!
What can they do?
Inside I am angry
With myself!
So we open at 9.20
Rather than nine on the dot.
What can they do?
I feel such a fool
Guilt at failure
Like at school
Get a grip!
What can they do?
Try to make amends
Jump in a black cab
From London Bridge
A tenner down the drain
But my conscience is clear.
Only ten minutes late.
What else could I do?
What a fool!
Dulwich Poet 4th May 2013
( I was duty manager at work today, and supposed to be in at a quarter to nine, to get the building ready, to open up to the public at nine o’clock. I slept in…)
